Results: From Sydney To San Francisco, Millions Are Striking For Global Climate Action!

Millions of young people around the world are stepping out on Friday to support dramatic climate action. The global climate strike began early Friday in Australia and countries across Asia and the Pacific, and continued in Europe and Africa. By midmorning, protesters in the Eastern U.S. and Midwest gathered for some of the approximately 800 protests planned across the country, according to the group 350 Action. Friday’s event is the second mass climate protest this year. In March, more than 1.4 million young people around the world were inspired in large part by 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, who staged a solo protest in her native Sweden. On Friday, she will join the front lines of the protest in New York alongside many other young leaders of the environmental movement.
