Hailey Asquin

Turning first-time volunteers into confident climate campaigners takes the right tools and a reason to speak up. Hailey has helped grow six active chapters across Canada and trained hundreds of young people, many with no prior organizing experience into confident canvassers, public speakers and campaign leaders. Her biggest swing yet is the national Make Them Pay campaign, which helped put an excess profits tax on oil and gas companies into mainstream conversation as both a climate and affordability fix. Common Horizon runs on volunteer power and a small coordinating staff, and Hailey’s communications work helps first-time volunteers find their voice, then turn up the volume.
