Strike
In the week of 16 September, millions of young people from around the world are asking adults to join them in a strike for the climate. Striking is always a desperate, last-resort tactic, which ignored or marginalised groups use to confront power and force change. Strikes are inconvenient, for strikers and those affected. And they are always disruptive – that’s the main idea. To mobilise support, the reason for striking needs to be good. The cause needs to be powerful. And the urgency needs to be high. Climate change is all of those things. Will you strike for the future?
