Today's the last day to get together enough to #GetMaryamToCop. She is an #indigenous #climate activist who had her funding cancelled last min to keep her from #COP29

Maryam has been at the forefront of #ClimateAction for her people, helping rebuild hundreds of houses in the aftermath of the 2022 #flooding

She was among the activists Risham & I invited to our #ClimateWedding

Please donate & help #Maryam fight for #ClimateJustice for her people at COP

#ClimateChange

Maryam is a hero to climate-conscious youth across #Pakistan, and has done more to inspire #ClimateAction here than anyone we know

We can personally vouch for Maryam, so much so that she was an honored guest at our #ClimateWedding last Feb, where we featured and promoted her work to our families

We know this is not a solution anymore but it is still the most basic action most of us can undertake ourselves, so at the wedding, we gifted citrus tree saplings (and rose plants) to our guests to take home and grow. We weren’t sure if any would take up the offer so ordered just enough for each family and…

We ran out of plants to give away as well XD

Needless to say, #ClimateWedding was a success!

We invited local #ClimateChange activists, who have worked themselves on projects locally with minimal recognition and support, to our #ClimateWedding. We shared their work in our wedding newspaper, and in an exhibit at the venue. We are immensely thankful to them. Link’s to their social media posts below.

We also had a wedding newspaper printed called “The JibRish Tribune”, explaining our motives for the #ClimateWedding, profiles of our celebrity cutouts, and most importantly, sharing the work and contact details for our local climate activists who so graciously agreed to be a part of our wedding.

Guests loved it so much, we have had to order a second print for them to keep!
