Dear Lisa, Darren, Neil, Theodore, Suzanne & Max,

I received this email call to action at 5am this morning ...

“As a second massive global School Strike unfolds today in 120 countries, I’m
forwarding you this powerful call to action (BELOW) published today by Greta
Thunberg and other young climate strike organisers. Young people everywhere
have walked out of school again today to highlight the climate emergency we face
and they are calling on adults to join them in action.”

The children of the world are speaking!

LISTEN UP!

Best regards,
Doug Grandt

THIS IS WHAT THEY PUBLISHED TODAY:

Today, we are out on the streets again, in huge numbers, in 150 countries, at over
4000 events, demanding that governments immediately provide a safe pathway to
stay below 1.5 degrees of warming. We spent weeks and months preparing this
day. We spent uncountable hours organizing and mobilizing when we could have
just hung out with our friends or studied for school.
We, children and students, don’t feel like we have a choice: it’s been years of
talking, countless negotiations, empty deals on climate change, fossil fuel
companies being given free rides to drill beneath our soils and burn away our
futures for their profit. Politicians have known about climate change for decades.
They have willingly handed over their responsibility for our future to profiteers
whose search for quick cash threatens our very existence.

We have learned that if we don’t start acting for our future, nobody else will make
the first move. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Once again our voices are being heard on the streets, but it is not just up to us.

We feel a lot of adults haven’t quite understood that we young people won’t hold off
the climate crisis ourselves. Sorry, if this is inconvenient for you. But this is not a
single-generation job. It’s humanity’s job. We young people can contribute to a
single-generation job. It’s humanity’s job. We young people can contribute to a
larger fight and that can make a huge difference.

So this is our invitation to you. Starting on Friday 20 September we will kick start a
week of climate action with worldwide strikes for the climate. We're asking you to
step up alongside us. There are many different plans underway in different parts of
the world for adults to join together and step up and out of your comfort zone for our
climate. Let's all join together; with our neighbours, co-workers, friends, family and
go out on to the streets to make our voices heard and make this a turning point in
our history.

This is about crossing lines – it's about rebelling wherever one can rebel. It’s not
about saying "Yeah, what the kids do is great, if I was young I would have totally
joined in." Everyone can and must actually help.

During the French revolution mothers flooded the streets for their children. Today
we children are fighting for ourselves, but so many of our parents are busy
discussing whether our grades are good, or a new diet or what happened in the
Game of Thrones finale- whilst the planet burns.
This moment has to happen. Last year’s UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change’s special report on global warming was clear about the unprecedented
dangers of going beyond 1.5°C of global warming. Emissions must drop rapidly –
so that by the time we will be in our mid- and late-20s we are living in a completely
transformed world.

But to change everything, we need everyone. It is time for all of us to unleash mass
resistance – we have shown that collective action does work. We need to escalate
the pressure to make sure that change happens, and we must escalate together.

So this is our chance - join us for the climate strikes this September. People have
risen up before to demand action and make change, if we do so in numbers we
have a chance. If we care we must do more than say we do. We must act.
This won't be the last day we need to take to the streets, but it will be a new
beginning. We’re counting on you.
