Global Climate Strike in Chicago

Greenpeace members participate in a rally at Federal Plaza to demand our leaders take immediate action to address the climate crisis on Friday, September 20, 2019 in Chicago.
People across the U.S. left their homes, workplaces, and schools for a youth-led Global Climate Strike. They marched and rallied to demand transformative action to address the climate crisis, and called on leaders to choose to side with young people, not fossil fuel executives polluting the planet for profit.
The September 20-27 global week of action is the beginning of a reckoning for the fossil fuel industry that will launch a growing movement of millions of people through the 2020 election toward a more just, green, and peaceful future for all.
