From 12 noon until 1 pm on September 20th, people will gather in front of both Nevada City and Grass Valley City Halls to participate in the Global Strike for Climate Justice demonstration and march, joining millions of people around the world who are calling for emergency action on the climate crisis. This coordinated global “strike” is an outgrowth of the ever-expanding student-led climate strikes begun by Greta Thunberg, the Swedish student who is credited with mobilizing her peers and significantly raising awareness about the dangers of climate change. Demonstrations are being organized in 150 countries and will focus on varied aspects of the climate crisis. Local demonstrations will seek to raise awareness in our community and to push for just and equitable solutions.
