A peaceful school strike this Friday, to demonstrate that the community wants climate action.
The strike will take place from 9am – 10.30am on Friday, May 13 at The Esplanade in Cowes.
“I feel really passionately about preserving Australia's natural beauty and ensuring a safe and happy future for everyone by tackling the climate crisis," said organiser, 14-year-old Joey Thompson
“I have organised a peaceful school strike and protest to demonstrate how our community wants climate action from politicians in the upcoming election.”
