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 ask you to call on our State legislature and Governor Janet Mills to declare a formal climate emergency and pledge to end all fossil fuel usage in Maine by 2030. We ask you to walk out of work and take the day off to show that this is important to your community. We invite you to City Hall to participate in our Global Climate Strike "Lie In" and rally with us. Let's show our government that we only have 10 years to avert the worst effects of climate change!

We will be lying down at city hall in mourning for the planet, and to show the consequences of ignoring this emergency.

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