With the consequences of climate change becoming ever more clear and dire with each passing day, a new powerful wave of the climate movement has been swelling up over the last couple of years. Young people around the world have been rising up to defend our future, and have been going on strike – every week, all over the planet – for months. In the September Climate Strikes alone, 7.6 million people took to the streets with us.

But our movement isn't going anywhere. Now, we are preparing for the next wave of Climate Strikes.

On September 20th, over 5000 Chicagoans shut down the streets to demand climate justice. On December 6th, we are doing it again.

Details:

Meet at Crown Fountain downtown Chicago at 11AM. From there we will march to Federal Plaza, where we will hold a rally. It will end at about 1PM.

All ages are welcome! This is a very safe, peaceful action.

Our demand is for the city of Chicago to declare a climate emergency.
