SAVE THE DATE!
350 Milwaukee is planning an action for September 20th
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.

Future Local Actions being explored:
1. "Putting Climate Front and Center in the 2020 Election” - organize to show up at candidate events with questions and signs
2. Local actions targeting banks that support the fossil fuel industry
Do any of these interest you?
Let us know if you have ideas and/or want to get involved!
Contact Julie Enslow or Greg Walter at the meeting, or email: 350 Milwaukee (mailto:
