Join the worldwide global climate strike TODAY on September 24th!
Climatestrike on February 7, 2019 in The Hague (The Netherlands)
"What happens in your generation does not stay in your generation"
"The ocean will rise but so will we"
"Boeit onze toekomst je niet?"
"I've seen smarter cabinets at Ikea"
This observation strook me and probably holds for many governments all over the world, especially when in comes to fighting the climate crisis.

School-Strike for Climate protest in George Square, Glasgow, Scotland. Police estimated turnout of at least 5000 which was more than double their expected estimate! I spotted the sub-ohm vape plumes behind this girl standing on a bin with the "Skolstrejk for klimatet" sign and simply had to line up this shot. Thank you for your comments and favourites, they are all appreciated!

As part of coordinated protest action by tens of thousands of people worldwide, demonstrators took to the streets to demand urgent action to tackle the existential threat of catastrophic climate change. In London, several hundred protesters, many of them students, met in Parliament Square before marching to the Home Office. All part of the Fridays for Future campaign.
Here, a protester carries a placard - "You cannot eat money but you can eat the rich," underlining the extent to which the wealthy, and particularly the top 1%, are not only responsible for most of the emissions but are also consuming and wasting land intensive food products particularly from animal agriculture. At the same time, concentrated corporate power lobbies governments to resist demands for richer nations to subsidize poorer countries to enable them to transform to more sustainable development paths. Higher taxation levels on the rich could help to lower emissions and provide essential support to the victims of climate change.
"You can eat the rich" is a slogan, originally attributed to the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, but now widely used by those opposed to growing income inequality as it has become increasingly extreme in the fifty years since the 1970s, due in part to increased corporate power over government.

A protester on Friday's climate strike protest in Parliament Square, London, carrying a placard. The analogy of politicians doing nothing while our home is burning is not new but it is an effective reminder of the imminent existential crisis faced by the planet and humankind, with little if any time left to begin to implement policies to drastically reduce emissions.
We need to #uprootthesystem - While I didn't ask the protester with the placard what precise meaning he wanted to convey, it seems obvious that we need to challenge the global corporate political system if we are to implement effective measures to combat climate change.

Photo from the Climate Strike and march in Pittsburgh on 9/24/21. Information from the event on Facebook: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and now we must rise to combat this monster of our own making for all of our futures. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way to stop it, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
We know this can't be done in a day, but the fight has begun and now we must act strongly to show those in power that we are united and will not back down. That is why we are calling on you, citizens, organizations, and communities, to join us in this fight. To be truly united for a future that reflects justice for all.
Our Demands:
Represent Youth in Local Climate Decisions. Pittsburgh politics has failed to be truly representative of all its communities, especially its youth. We want diverse representation at the table and an actual part in the decision making process- we are not pawns for press points
Ban Fracking! In addition to exacerbating climate change, fracking harms our communities and destroys our county's beautiful wild spaces. That is why we demand Allegheny County ban all new fracked gas wells and move towards closing all remaining wells, while ensuring the protection and new employment of their workers.
Tax Big Business for Green Infrastructure. Big Businesses like UPMC and fossil fuel companies must be taxed to help fund new Green Infrastructure programs; these programs will get us to the 100% renewable energy threshold mandated by the latest IPCC report
Stop Line 3! We are demanding that the US Federal Government halt ongoing construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline being constructed in Minnesota which will not only potentially leak harmful chemicals into the environment, but contributes to fossil fuel infrastructure and the ongoing environmental racism and treaty violations against Native Americans particularly the Anishinaabe. More info: stopline3.org
Just Transition and Clean Jobs for All. We are demanding a Just Transition to 100% renewable energy and a regenerative economy by 2050 and a crucial part of that will be ensuring that all people have clean, green, healthy jobs that pay a living wage.
Fight for Intersectional Climate Justice. As a movement, as communities, and individuals, we must acknowledge the intersectional nature of our struggles and work together towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and regenerative future. We need to put aside the idea that our movements are separate, and address issues of race, class, gender, identity, policing and government in tandem with our environment.
Who We Are
This strike has been organized with, endorsed by, and supported by an amazing network of powerful local organizations all of whom we'd like to recognize for their contributions and efforts!
Sunrise Pittsburgh, Socialist Alternative, Green New Deal for Pittsburgh, Ohio Valley Environmental Resistance, the Izaak Walton League of Allegheny County, Putting Down Roots, 350 Pittsburgh, Clean Water Action, OnePennsylvania, Breathe Collaborative, Heartwood, Pittsburghers Against Single-Use Plastic, Green Party of Allegheny County, Palestinian Solidarity Committee, Asian Solidarity Alliance, Pitt Asian Student Association, Protect Penn Trafford, Casa San Jose, Women for a Healthy Environment, YOU, and more to come!

Washington DC, Friday September 20, 2019. Strike! On a beautiful late summer day thousands gathered in John Marshall Park and marched a short distance to the lawn of the US Capitol to protest the failure of Trump's Republican Party to deal with the coming climate emergency. The Republicans will now face a unified left that has finally connected the dots between environmental degradation, corporate capitalism, growing income inequality, racism, militarism and other structural evils of our society.
