Dear John,

Here at MCV, we're going on strike for the climate — and we hope you will join us.

This Friday, millions of people will be walking out of their homes and workplaces to join young people all across the planet to demand that our leaders address the climate crisis and end the age of fossil fuels.

In Maine, climate activists have organized marches from Portland to Machias to help lift up the voices of the young climate strikers who are counting on us to stand with them to take action on the climate.
