            Woohoo -- today is the big day! Here's a reminder about how to 
join the climate strike, no matter where you are and what you do!


                   Dear friends,

                  The time has come...

                  Today, millions of young people will walk out of their 
classrooms and take to the streets, in what will be the biggest youth 
climate action in history.

                  And they’re asking us all to join them.

                  Not all of us will be able to go on a big march today. But 
wherever we are, whatever we’re doing, we can all join this historic moment 
for our planet. Here’s how:

                        1Join the strike remotely! Organize family, friends, 
and colleagues to get together today and take a moment to stand in 
solidarity with the young strikers. And if there’s no one around, take that 
time alone. After all, this whole idea started with Greta Thunberg 
protesting by herself.

                        Don’t forget to make a little placard :)


                        2Take a photo of your strike, then share it on the 
Avaaz climate hub for all of us to see! It could just be you at home, or at 
your workplace, or outside -- maybe in front of a public building in your 
town or city.

                        If you also upload your photo to social media, use 
the following hashtags: #ClimateStrike #ClimateHope




                        3Leave a message of solidarity and hope to save our 
beautiful planet. Avaaz will share our photos and messages with key leaders 
as we ramp up pressure on them to pledge ambitious climate commitments.

                  The Mayor of New York City has granted official permission 
for students to miss school for the strikes and join Greta on the streets. 
It’s brilliant -- they’ll be marching right as leaders arrive in New York 
for the UN climate summit.

                  But making this huge in New York and other key cities 
across the world isn’t enough. We are facing a climate emergency, and in 
order to shift our economies to 100% clean energy, we need *everyone* on 
board.

                  So join the action by showing your support for the 
strikers! It doesn’t matter how big or small -- share your photos and 
messages for all of the Avaaz community to see. Let’s show that this 
movement of resistance to the climate emergency spans across every corner of 
the earth:

Take me to the climate strike hub


                  Our community has campaigned to stop climate change from 
the start. We’ve already spearheaded some of the biggest climate 
mobilisations in history, and we won’t stop until the day we save our planet 
from climate destruction. We know what must be done -- now it’s up to 
people-power to make sure our governments listen.

                  With hope and determination,

                  Christoph, Rewan, Morgan, Nataliya, Aloys, Bert, and the 
entire Avaaz team
