Ang aktibismo ni Tan ay nagsimula noong 2017 matapos ang pagpupulong sa mga pinuno ng katutubo sa kanyang bansa. Napagtanto nito na ang sama-samang pagkilos at pagbabago ng sistema ay kinakailangan upang lumikha ng isang mas makatarungan at makulay lipunan.[3]

Noong 2019, si Mitzi Jonelle Tan ay nagtatag ng Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (YACAP),[9] ang Friday For Future (FFF) ng Pilipinas,[3] kasunod ng mga demonstrasyong pangklima sa buong mundo.[8]

Si Tan ang nangungunang tagapagtipon[2][10] at tagapagsalitang internasyonal[3][11][12] ng YACAP. Si Tan ay isa ring Friday for Future na aktibista sa Pilipinas,[1] at tagapagsalita.[13] Pinamunuan niya ang mga welga sa pagkilos sa klima sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas..[10][14]

Si Tan ay bahagi ng hakbang na kumuha ng mga welga sa paaralan para sa klima sa online sa pagsisimula ng Covid-19 pandemya.[5]

Noong Setyembre 2020 ay bahagi si Tan ng isang hakbang upang maibalik ang 'ligtas' na pagprotesta sa mga karapatang pangklima.[15]

Sa huling bahagi ng 2020 si Tan ay isa sa mga boluntaryo na nag-organisa ng Mock COP26,[16][17] na mayroong mga delegado mula sa 140 mga bansa.[18] Nagbigay din siya ng pahayag sa Mock COP26 tungkol sa pagiging isang aktibista na naninirahan sa lugar na kung saan ang aktibismo ay ipinapantay sa terorismo.[19][20] Sa pagkomento sa Mock COP26 sinabi ni Tan sa The Guardian "They're making sure that the voices of the most affected areas are amplified, and making sure that we have a space and we're not just tokenised."[21]

Si Tan ay isa sa mga aktibista na lumahok sa kampanya para sa Fridays For Future 'Pass the Mic', sa huling bahagi ng 2020, upang hilingin na ipasa ni Attenborough ang kanyang Instagram account sa mga tagapagtaguyod ng kabataan, partikular mula sa Global South.[7][13][22]

Noong Nobyembre 2020 sinuportahan ni Tan ang serye ng Climate Live ng mga internasyonal na konsyerto na gaganapin sa 2021.[23]

Nagbigay ng inspirasyon si Tan sa iba, tulad ng aktibistang kabataan ng Indonesia na si Salsabila Khairunnisa.[24]

Si Tan kasama ang apat pang mga aktibista mula sa mga bansa ng MAPA (Most Afected Peoples and Areas) na sina Eyal Weintraub ng Argentina, Disha A Ravi ng India, Kevin Mtai ng Kenya, at Laura Verónica Muñoz ng Colombia, kasama si Greta Thunberg ay nagpahayag ng isang bagong proseso ng welga ng klima.[25] Habang inihayag ang mga pag-atake sa klima ay nanawagan si Tan para sa "taunang nagbubuklod na mga target sa carbon at agarang pagbawas sa mga emisyon sa lahat ng sektor ng ating ekonomiya."[26] Sinabi din niya: "Kung hindi tayo kikilos ngayon, hindi tayo magkakaroon ng pagkakataong makamit ang mga layuning 2030 at 2050 na patuloy na pinag-uusapan ng mga pinuno ng mundo."[27]

Kumilos ang samahan ni Tan kasunod ng mga sunod-sunod na bagyo noong 2020 upang matulungan ang mga pinaka-apektadong pamayanan, kasama ang pagpapakain sa mga nagugutom at pag-uusap sa kanila tungkol sa mga problemang kinaharap nila.[28]
