2525 concerned humans, to join massive global climate strikes on September 20. People all over the world will use their power to stop “business as usual” and send a message to politicians. Young people hope this moment will show that they have the backing of millions of us who have a growing dread about the climate emergency but who have so far stayed mostly on the side-lines.
If you’re a parent or guardian, make it explicit that you allow your kids to go on strike, if they want to. If you’re an employer do the same. Lead others by example.
Of course, some people won’t be able to take a day off work, for all sorts of reasons. But that doesn’t have to stop you joining in with the protests – either by organising some solidarity action or training in your workplace, talking to your colleagues about your concerns about lack of government action, or taking time off in your lunch-break to go and show your support. Activate your own network in support of the climate strikes. Think of the organisations, clubs or faith
groups you belong to. Talk about the climate strikes at your next meeting; take to social media and share a public statement of support. Organise others for solidarity actions and events.
We need everyone - please don’t leave it to the young people. See www.hasl.org.uk and https:// globalclimatestrike.net/ Stop Press … Brighton and Hove City Council have agreed to a Car free day + support for school strikers and council employees to participate in 20 September general strike
