Greetings SeaChangers,
In the spirit of preserving and restoring our oceans for future generations, we enthusiastically encourage you to participated in the Global Climate Change Strike. The information below was copied from the Facebook post for actions happening in the traditional and unceded territories of the Lekwungen speaking peoples (Victoria). There are many opportunities to participate in events, trainings and teach-ins!!!

Young climate strikers are calling on everyone: parents, workers, and all concerned humans to join a week of climate justice actions from September 20 – 27.
The climate crisis is an emergency, and we can change everything if thousands of people use their power to stop business as usual. Join us in the streets! 🔥

We would like to acknowledge that we are holding these events on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples, who have lived on and taken care of this land since time immemorial. We challenge everyone concerned about the climate to support struggles for Indigenous rights and title.
