International Youth Climate Strike scheduled for Friday
By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 13, 2019
More than a dozen progressive advocacy groups, including one headed by former Vice President Al Gore, are encouraging students to skip school Friday in the name of climate change.
The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by Mr. Gore, has thrown its support behind the Youth Climate Strike, a one-day walk-out aimed at drumming up support for “radical legislative action,†including the Green New Deal.
“They’ve had enough. And no wonder – it’s their future on the line. So if adults aren’t going to act on their own, young people will make them,†said Climate Reality Project in a Tuesday statement.
