TWO Days Until the GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE
[link removed]
We're all deep in planning for the global climate strikes coming up on Friday (I've been with Greta Thunberg in DC the last couple of days, and it is thrilling to see the excitement building). But we need to march and to think at the same time, so I'm sending you what I think is the most important piece I've written in a number of years, which just came out this [Tuesday] morning. - Bill McKibben

If you’ve been inspired by the school strikers, but you’re not sure how you can take action as an ally, read on for 3 meaningful ways you can show your support:
1. Join the Global Climate Strikes
School strikers are calling on ([link removed]) everyone ([link removed]) : young people, parents, workers, and all concerned citizens to join massive climate strikes and a week of actions starting on September 20.
2. Spread the word
It’s as simple as it sounds. Talk to everyone you know – young or grown-up – about the climate strikes, about what they’ve achieved already; and our role in supporting young people. Share with them your own reasons for wanting to see urgent climate action. Tell them about Greta’s message of climate emergency ([link removed]) , or, even better, show them one of her powerful speeches.
3. Organize your community
Activate your own network (yes, you have one!) in support of the climate strikes. Think of the organizations, clubs or faith groups you belong to. Maybe you’re in a parents group, or a book club? Talk about the climate strikes at your next meeting; take to social media and share a public statement of support. Organize others for solidarity actions and events.
