On Friday, September 20, 2019, the Sunrise Movement has called for global strikes in support of solving the climate crisis by bringing awareness to the inaction of political leaders in addressing the issues that could save lives.  The event will take place locally between 5-6 pm in Central Park.  Other locations around the nation may be found at https://strikewithus.org/.

The Sunrise Movement was founded by a 15 year-old student.  According to the organization's website, the movement was formed to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.  "We are not looking to the right of left.  We look forward.  Together, we will change this country and this world, sure as the sun rises each morning."

Lowe said, "I hope our community can come together on this day and we can prove to our youth that we do hear them and care enough to protect them."

"This Friday, we #ClimateStrike!"
