Chipping Away at the Precipice
from The Round Table: A YVote Podcast Hosted by YVote
Welcome to another episode at The Round Table. This week, our hosts, Inyoo, Sauda, and Viola sat down with Devyn Inez Fusaro, the Digital & Communications Manager at New York Renews, a powerful coalition fighting for climate justice across New York. Devyn’s journey with NY Renews began in 2019 creating impactful videos that helped shape the movement's messaging. By 2022, she officially joined the team as a coalition organizing fellow for the Climate, Jobs & Justice campaign, later leading the coalition's Video Working Group in 2023 and 2024. Now as a full-time staff member, she plays a key role in shaping NY Renews' digital strategy and outreach. In this conversation, Devyn breaks down what NY Renews is currently organizing for, from advancing the rollout of the Cap-and-Invest program to securing funding for critical climate programs through the Fund Climate Campaign. She also highlights the coalition’s priorities around Indigenous solidarity and explains how climate justice is deeply connected to social and economic equity. But this episode isn’t just about policy it’s also about storytelling and activism. Devyn shares her personal journey, from her background as a narrative and documentary storyteller with experience producing for HBO and BRIC TV to the books and resources that have shaped her approach to advocacy. For students and young changemakers, Devyn offers insights on getting involved in climate advocacy, sharing practical advice on how to effectively push for climate policies and make real impact.
