last year was a momentous time for the youth climate movement. following several large-scale, coordinated strikes throughout the year, the three-day strike planned for april 2020, the 50th anniversary of earth day, was meant to outshine them all. millions of people were expected to participate in climate strikes and events around the world. <\/p>\n
youth-led organizations that have become well-known within the climate movement \u2013 such as fridays for future<\/a>, sunrise movement<\/a>, youth climate strike<\/a>, and future coalition<\/a> \u2013 banded together under a climate strike coalition<\/a> to unite and plan this convergence. adult-led organizations formed a supporting coalition, signifying that this is a multigenerational movement. more than 360 additional movement partners located around the world signed on to support and take part in the collective action. <\/p>\n naina agrawal-hardin, a 17-year-old activist in ann arbor, michigan, is a member of sunrise and a national representative on the climate strike coalition. she has been organizing strikes since one of the first youth-led climate strikes was held in march 2019, but the strikes in 2020 would prove to be unlike anything held before.<\/p>\n
