Statement on the Climate Strike

For eight days, citizens from all
across the globe have been tak-
ing a stand in a Global Climate
Strike, demanding dramatic and
utgent action to fix the global
climate crisis. This movement is
being led by young people, who
are fighting for their futures
and the future of the planet.

The BC Federation of Students
stands in solidarity with these
young leaders, and with climate
activists across the world. Cli-
mate justice must include a bold
plan to fight the climate crisis,
investments into communities
struggling with undrinkable wa-
ter and pollution, self-determ1-
nation for Indigenous Peoples,
and investments into clean ener-
gy technologies. Young people
like Autumn Peltier, Ta’Katya

Blaney, and Greta Thunberg,
have raised awareness and cre-
ated a global movement, with

folks from all walks of life de-

manding climate justice for all.

Millions of people around the
world have been taking action
during this Strike. We encourage
all students in BC to be apart of
this important action, and join
the Global Climate Strike: hit
the streets, join a march or rally,
and be loud on social media.
This is the time to show politi-
cians, the media, corporations,
and leaders everywhere that
we won't wait any longer for
change — it has to happen now!
Find a local climate strike here.

For those who aren’t able to at-
tend a climate strike, you can

still take action. We’re in the

midst of a federal election --
you can use the Canadian La
bour Congress’ campaign toc
to email party leaders to te
them you want them to com
mit to bold action on climat:
justice. Or you can write a let
ter to the editors of local pa
pets to keep the issue a to
priority in your communiti

We all have the right to live 1:
a province, country, and worl:
where the physical, social, and
mental well-being of the peopl
are valued more than the profit
of corporations. Let’s show ou’
governments that BC student
are a part of the fight to de
mand action and climate justic
now. Our futures depend on
