Dayton Climate Strike II
Start: Friday, December 06, 2019• 4:00 PM
End: Friday, December 06, 2019• 6:00 PM
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.
"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth." Greta Thunberg at the United Nations.
Dayton Climate Strike is joining the second wave of nationwide climate strikes with a local action on Friday December 6, 2019. It is important to keep the momentum going here. Our country is sliding backwards in the fight to address climate change.
We are asking students and young people to plan events at their school, campus or community and join us downtown afterwards.
