Emma Blankstein, 11th grade, Los Angeles
As an activist and educator, Emma’s focus is on climate change, menstrual equity, and Holocaust survivors. As a zero-waster, she is working to improve her school’s carbon footprint by helping to put a long-term sustainability plan in place. As a storyteller and filmmaker, being among the last generation to personally know Holocaust survivors, she is on the teen board of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and has made five short films on survivors, one of which was selected for the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival. As a voice for menstrual equity, Emma was chosen to speak at the first ever National Period Day in Los Angeles. She is a youth advisory board member for The Pad Project and advocates and educates about the global need for accessible, affordable and safe menstrual products. She is a straight-A student, with a passion for math, the sciences and mock trial.
