<P class=p4>The time to strike for our planet and future is
here. </P>
<P class=p4><STRONG>Young people from around the world are calling for a
Climate Strike on 25 September: online, offline, everywhere.</STRONG></P>
<P class=p4>Since the COVID-19 pandemic set in, climate strikers have been
highlighting the need for a just and green recovery, and for the need to
keep raising our voices for these interwoven crises. </P>
<P class=p4>This year, <STRONG>the spotlight will be on the Most Affected
People and Areas</STRONG>, who are already facing the climate crisis in
full force in the middle of a global pandemic.</P>
<P class=p4>Last year, <A
href="https://act.350.org/go/151276?t=6&akid=131152%2E4050260%2EidfG7k">we
saw 7.6 million people on the streets for the climate</A>. A lot has
happened between now and then and mass protests have had to take on
different shapes to keep everyone safe. But it is a crucial time to remind
the world how <STRONG>climate justice is connected to building a healthier
more resilient world</STRONG>.</P>
<P class=p4><SPAN class=s1>We look forward to having you join us in this
moment for climate justice. If we don’t see you out on the streets, we’ll
see you online!</SPAN></P>

These brave young people from some of the most vulnerable communities in
the world are standing up because they’re seeing with their own eyes that
climate action can’t wait. <A
