Global Youth Climate Strike

Anna had a great excuse to skip part of school today to participate in the Global Youth Climate Strike. Below are the stats of what I saw in the news about what was going on today around the world: 

4,500 strikes planned (1000+ just in the US!)
137 countries
73 trade unions and federations
500 organizations
1,000 companies
2,500 websites joining the Digital Climate Strike

I love this picture of Swedish youth climate activist Greta Thunberg marching with other young climate activists for a climate strike outside the White House last week 

Great article here from Sojourners:
FOR GOD'S SAKE, STRIKE FOR CLIMATE
