Mitzi Jonelle Tan
Mitzi Jonelle Tan (born October 27, 1997) is a Filipino climate justice activist. She lives in Metro Manila, Philippines.
Tan's activism started in 2017 after meeting with indigenous leaders in her country. This made her realize that collective action and systemic change are necessary to create a more just and green society.
In 2019, Tan co-founded Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (YACAP), the Fridays For Future (FFF) organization of the Philippines, following climate demonstrations around the world. Tan is the lead convener and international spokesperson of YACAP. Tan is also a Fridays for Future activist in the Philippines, and spokesperson.
Tan was part of the move to take school strikes for climate online at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In September 2020, Tan was part of a move to return to 'safe' climate protests. In late 2020, Tan was one of the volunteers who organised Mock COP26, an online youth-led climate conference with delegates from 140 countries and which was inspired by COP26. She also gave a talk at Mock COP26 on being an activist living where activism is equated with terrorism. Commenting on Mock COP26 Tan told The Guardian "They're making sure that the voices of the most affected areas are amplified, and making sure that we have a space and we're not just tokenised." She was one of the activists to take part in the Fridays For Future 'Pass the Mic' campaign, also in late 2020, to request that David Attenborough pass on his Instagram account to youth advocates, particularly from the Global South, in order to make effective use of his platform for climate activism.
In November 2020 Tan backed the Climate Live series of international concerts to be held in 2021.
Tan's organisation went into action following the 2020 back-to-back hurricanes in the Philippines to help the most impacted communities, including by feeding the hungry and talking to them about the problems they faced.
Tan is also one of the Fridays for Future activists leading the 2021 Clean Up Standard Chartered campaign of Fridays for Future, a divestment campaign calling on Standard Chartered Bank to divest from companies involved in the coal industry around the world.
