Join Young People for Climate Actions on November 29th and December 6th
By MUUSJN on Thursday, November 28th, 2019
After 7 million people went on a
climate strike on September 20th…
Take two challenges of young climate justice activists:
Black Friday Resistance:
Boycott buying things for 24 hours from 7 p.m. EST on November 28th to 6:59 p.m. on November 29th (EST). Students, workers and adults everywhere, walk away from a system that is destroying the planet.
December 6th:
Participate in one of the 5 climate strikes in Michigan (Traverse City, Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Allendale.)
This Is Not A Single Generation Job!
“We young people can contribute to a larger fight and that can make a huge difference. But we can’t do this without you and everyone you know.”
