Dear John, enjoy our climate action-themed newsletter in honour of the global strikes this month.
Dear John
Whether you attended the climate strikes or you showed your support in other ways, thank you for making last Friday such a success. Together, we sent a message to the world: we're in a climate emergency, so let's act like it.
But what now? Well, if you're feeling inspired, we've put together a little video to help you kick start a greener, fairer future in your community.

Friends of the Earth at strike
On 20 September, hundreds of thousands of you took to the streets to highlight the need for drastic climate action.
With over 200 rallies, it became the biggest ever climate protest the UK has ever seen. I
t was so inspiring to see protesters of all ages answer UK Student Climate Network's call for support.
To learn more, listen to our campaigner Muna Suleiman interviewing youth strikers in our new podcast series "How to Save the Planet".

WE'RE BACK IN COURT
[link removed]
We're back in court on Thursday 17 October to appeal against the government's decision to allow Heathrow’s expansion. As one of the biggest climate polluters in the UK, it’s ridiculous that the airport’s proposal has even got this far while we’re in a climate emergency. Will you sign our climate petition to show your support?
YES, I'LL ADD MY NAME ([link removed])
