This Friday sees the second wave of climate strikes from Bristol’s youth. Planned for 15th March 11am-2pm, College Green – there’s a Facebook page with all the info. Last time the strikes in February saw a huge turn-out and tedious criticism from (mainly) politicians on the right. Yet the first time Parliament go on to climate change, you know adults, that existential threat we all face, most MPs (610 of them!) could not be bothered to turn up. Here’s how that ghost-house looked now we’re not talking Blue passports (image source):

It’s going to have to be raw people power that makes change happen here! Why not join in?

.@darrenpjones visited the strikers in Bristol! I'll be striking in Bristol on 15th March! He says we should have more than four minutes to talk about climate change and food security….. (No, we strikers are not happy about that!) https://t.co/O22ztdxJcU — Elsie Luna ⧖⃝ (@elsie__luna) February 28, 2019

If you can’t make that event – there’s another one on the 27th April – Earth Day Climate Protest // Bristol Bearpit Takeover. Also a few bits of reading on the subject that might be of interest; Trump, Putin and the Pipelines to Nowhere, On NGOs and the commodification of the climate movement, The Climate Change Deniers Trying to Discredit Greta Thunberg.
