Youth Strike for Climate Justice

Four million protesters around the globe, led by youth, declared the time has come for action on climate change. Two hundred and fifty thousand marched and rallied in New York and we’re Building Bridges to those exuberant youth activists who led the way, and we all—young and old and everywhere in between—followed. We’re building bridges and fighting alongside the student leaders of the US Youth Climate Strike, the organizers of the Sunrise Movement, and other climate-focused groups to push the climate crisis into the center of the 2020 debate and propel the bold vision of a Green New Deal in Congress and across the country.  Friday, Sept 20th  was incredible—a vision of people power around the world—and we’ll bring you the highlights from the rally stage and from the throngs who took to the streets – nay took over the streets to leave you as inspired as it left us, and we’re betting as a result you’ll be ready to do more.

SOS, Save Our Planet: The Peoples Climate March and Beyond 
with
Christian Parenti, professor of sustainable development at the 
School for International Training, Graduate Institute. He is a 
contributing editor to the Nation and the author of four books, 
the most recent being Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence 
and
Mary Sweeters, Greenpeace Arctic Campaigner and Coordinator in the Global Climate March. She has spent the last seven years at Greenpeace organizing numerous communities around climate change. She participated in an action hanging a giant banner on Mt. Rushmore to call out Pres. Obama to take action on climate change and especially  to raise awareness of the meltdown of the Arctic ice caps and the dangers of Arctic oil drilling. 

The massive Peoples Climate March is a turning point in the  
demand for an economy that works for people and the planet; a 
world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good 
jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities, we’ll dialogue 
with Christian Parenti and youth activist Mary Sweeters who has 
helped build support for the march and beyond  to incorporate an 
environmental justice agenda in all of our endeavors.  To change 
everything, we need everybody!
