April Digital Climate Strike

The Central Oregon Climate Strike will happen over the course of April 21 to April 24. As folks cannot perform a traditional strike under the given circumstances we will be using social media to promote climate activism and earth appreciation. If you’d like to support please follow @co_youthclimatestrike on instagram and stay tuned for more details to follow.

The strike is being run from home by high school students Kira Gilbert, GG Johnson, Sydney Dedrick, and Freddy Finney-Jordet along with support from local organizations. Their goal is to demand that our representatives take meaningful legislative action to combat climate change and bring light to the urgency of the climate crisis. In order to make this event happen, they need your help by participating and spreading the word. The more people we can involve the better.  If you or anyone else you know is interested in speaking please reach out to @co_youthclimatestrike on instagram.
