Trade
unionists support our youth strike for climate on 15 March!
Trade
unions worldwide are supporting school strikers defending their future. In
Belgium The Centrale Générale (FGTB), which includes the largest power station
in the country, are striking in support on 15 March - as are unions in
Australia, including teachers and firefighters. Many NEU members are signing a
letter supporting school strikes in the UK, which will be taking place in over
40 cities. Get your comrades out to support our youth - further details.https://ukscn.org/

solidarity,

And the Green Party says:
Tomorrow, pupils from
schools up and down the country will be walking out of lessons.
They’ll be gathering in dozens of locations across the country
with a simple message. We
need emergency climate action now.
And the Green Party says:
As a teacher myself, I’m proud of each and every pupil taking
civic action to demand climate action.
While our political leaders call our young people “truants”,
there are thousands of teachers, parents and fellow citizens cheering on this
movement of radical hope.
The children of this country are not truants. They are fighting
for their future. They are heroes.
While young people are leading the way, it’s up to all of us to
support them in any way we can.
If you’re a parent, please support your kids in taking action if
they want to. If you’re a teacher like me, press for support and understanding
from your headteacher. If you’re free tomorrow, head down to support your local
strike.
Most importantly, if you are a young person thinking of taking
action tomorrow - go for it. Thousands of us stand with you.
All over the country, more and more councils are declaring a
climate emergency, and we need Westminster to do the same. Business as usual is
over. It’s time for a radical transformation. It’s time for real climate
action.
As a valued member of the Green Party, I'm sure you agree it's
time for this action. Will you support the school strike?
Best wishes,
Vix Lowthion, Green Party Education Spokesperson
