Yesterday afternoon I was planning to spend an hour or so at our nearest railway station handing out leaflets for Friday’s Global Climate Strike, but the weather was terrible and I’m trying to shake off a virus so I stayed warm and dry instead.
Please accept this terrific video, words by the Peace Poets, in lieu of a leaflet, and consider responding to the students’ invitation.
The Sydney strike is at midday at the Domain. It’s politely out of the way and non-disruptive but the students are hoping to fill the vast space with people trying to inspire out governments to face reality. Details are at schoolstrike4climate.com/sept20.
I’ll be going to the Melbourne one, but I sincerely hope that my generation will be well-and-truly outnumbered by young people.We are all in this together, but if they don’t turn out in force (as we did back in the day for Vietnam) then the government will go on ignoring them.
