climate strike

 This is  a downing of tools to support action on climate change. The beginnings of this action to confront the climate emergency were the school strikes inspired by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, but the adults started joining in so that this year the climate strikes that were part of the September Week for the Future involved all the community. The difference between the climate strikes and the union strikes was that in many instances the worked downed tools with the support of the bosses. The protests took place in 4500 locations in 150 countries around the world, so there was a strong sense of being united with many others in a global initiative. The climate strikes will become a regular feature of our political landscape.
