GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

“This September, millions of us will walk out of our workplaces and homes to join young climate strikers on the streets and demand an end to the age of fossil fuels. Our house is on fire — let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone.” — GlobalClimateStrike.net

“People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” — Greta Thunberg — watch her 5-minute speech at right:
