What’s next after the Climate Strikes?

The Global Climate Strike has shown we have the people power we need to solve the climate crisis and end the age of fossil fuels.

Are you willing to use your power to keep up the pressure?

Here’s how you can keep up the fight after the Global Climate Strike.
