The youth climate movement has been persistent. In 2019, we striked for our futures. In 2020, we voted for change and for politicians that will listen to us. But in 2021, the climate crisis is worsening and the fight continues. Corporations and elected officials don’t think that they need to listen to young people, but this year, we’ll make them listen. This year, we’ll be mobilizing members of our original US Climate Strike Coalition, and many more youth-led organizations, to conduct persistent actions against corporations and hold them accountable.

Our country and our world need to reckon with the impacts of climate change, environmental racism, and systemic inequality, and we will not stop fighting for transformative change. The power to shape our reality lies with us. Our fates are intertwined. We win together. We lose together.
