Global #ClimateStrike - Bendigo

To everyone who cares about a safe climate future, this is your invitation to join the Global #ClimateStrike on 20 September — people around the world standing up to confront the climate crisis when our politicians won’t.

When: 2pm-4pm, Friday 20th September 2019 

Where: Bendigo Library Gardens, 259 Hargreaves St, Bendigo 

Australia is already on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Prolonged drought. Flash flooding. Catastrophic bushfires, severe cyclones and heatwaves.

But just at the time when we need to ramp up climate solutions, our emissions are increasing, and coal and oil barons are unleashing massive new fossil fuel projects like Adani’s coal mine.

So, on 20 September, three days before the UN Emergency Climate Summit, school students are inviting everyone to join us for our biggest ever global #ClimateStrike. 

By taking time off school and work together around the world, we’ll show our politicians that people everywhere want climate justice and we’re not going away until we get it.

We’ll strike in solidarity for everyone who’s already being hurt by the climate crisis and everyone who will be impacted if we don’t act now: workers, First Nations people, young people, mining communities and more. 

Everyone is invited, everyone is needed.

On 15 March, 1.6 million of us went on strike around the world. On 20 September, we’re going to take our movement to the next level.

If you’re an adult, please take the day off and invite your friends, workmates and families to join us. 

See you on 20 September to strike for climate justice.
