Hi, my name is Elizabeth Becker, and I was a finalist in the 2021 Statewide Election for Connecticut’s Kid Governor.
I’m now a member of the Kid Governor’s Cabinet working with Kid Governor Makhi! I ran on a platform of Climate Change. I chose this issue because it is a big and important issue that is affecting everyone and needs to be solved. My three-point platform is:
1. Create a blog and YouTube channel for 5th graders to read and learn about the impact of climate change.
2. Organize events for 5th graders to take part in such as cleanups, tree plantings and rain garden construction classes.
3. Have a poster contest and letter writing campaign to write to our elected officials and urge them to take action on climate change.
Since the statewide election I have done more research on climate change, and I was inaugurated along with Kid Governor Makhi and my fellow Cabinet members at Inauguration Day at Connecticut's Old State House in January.
I will continue to work on my platform by writing a letter to my elected officials to urge them to take action on climate change. If you would like to support my platform, you can also write a letter to an elected official, or organize a cleanup of your own.
I would love to hear about how you are making a difference around climate change in your own community. Email me at Cabinet@CT.KidGovernor.org to tell me about it!
