*[Enwl-eng] We're on Strike -- let's go!

[ENWLine]

 

 

Woohoo -- today is the big day! Here's a reminder about how to join the climate strike, no matter where you are and what you do! Dear friends, The time has come... Today, millions of young people will walk out of their classrooms and take to the streets, in what will be the biggest youth climate action in history. And they’re asking us all to join them. Not all of us will be able to go on a big march today. But wherever we are, whatever we’re doing, we can all join this historic moment for our planet. Here’s how: 1Join the strike remotely! Organize family, friends, and colleagues to get together today and take a moment to stand in solidarity with the young strikers. And if there’s no one around, take that time alone. After all, this whole idea started with Greta Thunberg protesting by herself. Don’t forget to make a little placard :) 2Take a photo of your strike, then share it on the Avaaz climate hub for all of us to see! It could just be you at home, or at your workplace, or outside -- maybe in front of a public building in your town or city. If you also upload your photo to social media, use the following hashtags: #ClimateStrike #ClimateHope 3Leave a message of solidarity and hope to save our beautiful planet. Avaaz will share our photos and messages with key leaders as we ramp up pressure on them to pledge ambitious climate commitments. Take me to the climate hub The Mayor of New York City has granted official permission for students to miss school for the strikes and join Greta on the streets. It’s brilliant -- they’ll be marching right as leaders arrive in New York for the UN climate summit.  But making this huge in New York and other key cities across the world isn’t enough. We are facing a climate emergency, and in order to shift our economies to 100% clean energy, we need *everyone* on board.  So join the action by showing your support for the strikers! It doesn’t matter how big or small -- share your photos and messages for all of the Avaaz community to see. Let’s show that this movement of resistance to the climate emergency spans across every corner of the earth: Take me to the climate strike hub Our community has campaigned to stop climate change from the start. We’ve already spearheaded some of the biggest climate mobilisations in history, and we won’t stop until the day we save our planet from climate destruction. We know what must be done -- now it’s up to people-power to make sure our governments listen. With hope and determination, Christoph, Rewan, Morgan, Nataliya, Aloys, Bert, and the entire Avaaz team P.S. do you own a website? If so, join the digital strike! Click here to learn more.
