Support the Youth-led Climate Strikes!
By Stevie Carmody
Led by youth and young people all across the country, this week invites people of all ages to participate in the ongoing Climate Strikes, or support the effort for climate justice in other ways. Many strikes will happen on September 20th, but be sure to find the events scheduled in your area!

Is Your Youth or Young Adult Group Involved in the Climate Strikes?
Connect them with our Lifespan Faith Engagement staff if you need resources and support. Stevie Carmody, the Emerging Adult Ministry Associate, can be reached at scarmody@uua.org.
Need to Get Grounded in UUism & the Climate Strikes?
Get inspired! You can watch this 1-hour video, learning more from UU youth organizers Sophia Geiger, Levi Draheim, and Charlotte Stuart-Tilley! Sophia reminds us, “we need people who don’t think of themselves as a ‘climate activist’ to be climate activists.” Charlotte calls for us to have fortitude in the struggle with something that seems insurmountable.
