Youth Verdict

Murrawah Maroochy Johnson is a powerful advocate for Indigenous rights and environmental justice, dedicated to protecting her people’s land and culture. As a spokesperson for the Wangan and Jagalingou people, she has worked tirelessly to oppose coal mining projects that threaten sacred lands in Australia. Beyond her role in her community, Murrawah is a key member of Youth Verdict, a group of young Australians fighting for climate justice. Through Youth Verdict, she brings Indigenous voices and perspectives into legal battles against projects that endanger the environment and amplify climate change. For Murrawah, this work is both a defense of her ancestors and a vision for a sustainable, equitable future. Each action she takes is a step toward a world where Indigenous sovereignty is respected, and the rights of future generations are protected.
