on Friday, September 24, join
FRIDAYS for FUTURE
This Worldwide Youth Climate Strike for Intersectional Climate Justice unites many issues and people and focuses on the most effected peoples and areas.
#UpRootTheSystem
The most affected peoples and areas are experiencing the worst effects of the climate crisis. They are unable to adapt to these extreme changes. Read “Countries and Territories Most Affected by Climate Change” here.
 
#FridaysForFuture is a youth-led and youth-organized global climate strike movement, begun in August 2018, when 15-year-old Greta Thunberg started a school strike.

#FridaysForFuture is now a worldwide movement of young people.

This Friday, students and activists will protest outside city halls, capitols, and parliament buildings and in parks and on street corners.

  • Find an event in your city or a location near where you live here.
