School Strike 4 Climate Action

INFO: Students striking from school to demand action on climate change from the Australian government.

WE ARE students of all ages, from cities, towns and regional hubs from every part of Australia

WE ARE united by concern for the future of our planet, even though we live hundreds of kilometres apart.

WE ARE striking from school to demand politicians take our future seriously & treat climate change as what it is: a crisis.
