On September 20th, three days before the UN Climate Summit in NYC, young people and adults will strike all across the US and world to demand transformative action be taken to address the climate crisis.

We want to answer the young people's call to take action and ensure lives of opportunity for them and generations to come.

We are inviting people from Indianapolis and from Indiana to join us for a peaceful protest and a show of solidarity, love and caring with and for our children and for all the children of the world, of all species.

Let's demand urgent action from decision-makers to solve the climate crisis in our city, our state, our country and the world. Let's make September 20th, 2019 the day humanity turned things around and put itself and the whole biosphere on a sustainable path.
