Dear John,

This email is a celebration. Its been exactly a week since the last global climate strike action happened, bringing the number of people who took to the streets to 7.6 million!

It's a celebration of the Irish school strikers, and of the 74 people who organized support actions around Ireland. A celebration of everyone who attended a strike, shared information or spoke to others about the strikes.

You are powerful.

Every newspaper in Ireland covered the strike actions on Friday September 20th (check it out here). Across the world over the week, more than 7.6 million people took to the streets demanding radical climate action. In Ireland, people turned out in every corner of the island. From forty people in Tipperary Town to five hundred in Blessington, to twenty thousand in Dublin, the streets of Ireland were filled with people demanding fair and fast climate action.

We've put together a gallery here of just some of the incredible photos from across the country. Please send us any more you might have!

You are inspiring.

This was a special, historic moment, and together we can harness that energy to bring about real change.

The last few weeks have shown us that when people are brave and step up in their communities for climate justice, others follow and the movement builds.

There lots of opportunities for action coming up, and I'm excited to work with you as we build a movement strong enough to achieve climate justice.
