Climate strike with us.

Our survival can’t wait.

The September 20th Climate Strike was the largest day of action for climate justice ever. Then, on December 6th, as world leaders gathered at the UN’s annual climate conference, young people across America joined a national #ClimateStrike to take the momentum from September to our elected officials’ doorsteps.

In September, many politicians shared nice words of encouragement. But, we didn’t walk out of school and work to earn their praise. We joined the #ClimateStrike because our lives depend on elected leaders treating this crisis like the emergency it is.

That’s why on December 6th, we showed up at the offices of our political leaders and asked them, are you ready to stand with our generation and fight for a Green New Deal? Here’s what happened at just a few of 260+ strike events:

  • In South Bend, IN 70+ young people took over Pete Buttigieg’s office to demand he champion the Green New Deal.

  • In Newark, DE, Senate primary challenger Jess Scarane joined a rally demanding a Green New Deal for Delaware, and 3 Delaware state politicians signed the Green New Deal pledge.

  • In Boston, MA 300+ young people filled the statehouse to demand a Green New Deal for their state. 27 were arrested while sitting-in peacefully.

  • In Des Moines, IA, Bernie Sanders came to rally with us outside the Iowa Capitol building in support for our demands.

Now we’re looking ahead to our next big strike date: the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. Our movement is going to escalate and we will deliver a generational demand: the decade of the Green New Deal is here and the people in power can either stand with us or step aside for the leadership who will.
