Global Climate Change Strike

Millions of people world wide took to the streets calling on world leaders to take action to stop climate change. The demonstrations were in response to a call by 15-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg to go on strike to stop climate change. Thunberg had been skipping school one day a week to demonstrate in front of a Swedish government building, demanding action on climate change and calling on children around the world to join her. She estimated that 3 million people joined her on Sept 20, three days before the opening of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Action Summit on September 23, 2019. The following pictures were taken at a rally in the San Francisco Bay Area.
