Many people are seeing the strike as the push for leaders to pass any kind of legislature to fix our increasing climate danger. Thousands of people missed work or school to stand up and fight for the only planet we have. Students are being widely recognized for their bravery to demand a secure future and many believe only by combating climate change that can happen.

Also being referred to as The School Strike for Climate Change, the climate strike is the biggest recorded in history. So many people went out to fight for the right to have a safe future and many faces are rising to the spotlight for it.


A notable figure in the climate strike is Greta Thunberg, the 15 year old Swedish girl with Autism, is being noted as a huge figure in the fight for climate change. Last year she was recognized as the only person to strike in Sweden and today she stood with thousands of other's joining in on her activism.
