Name: Jerome Foster II
Age: 19
City: New York, New York
Area of focus: Climate justice
Jerome Foster knows Washington, D.C.
He has served on the Washington, D.C. State Board of Education’s Advisory Council, as an intern for Congressman and civil rights hero John Lewis, and is currently a member of the Biden administration’s White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
That would be a full resume for a Washington lifer. Foster, though, is just 19.
He knew the Capitol building quite well before they invited him in, too: For 57 weeks, he spent his Fridays outside of the White House, striking for climate change.
