Georgia Organizers For Worldwide Youth Climate Strike Preview Atlanta Demonstration

Students from about 150 countries are skipping class Friday with a
goal of schooling government and business leaders around the world.
The coordinated Youth Climate Strike is predicted to be the largest
environmental action in history, and it’s scheduled just days
before a UN Climate Action Summit in New York City on Monday. In
Georgia, a group called Zero Hour Georgia is pulling together a
strike and demonstration at the state capitol at 2 p.m. Its
co-executive directors are GSU student Zeena Abdulkarim and UGA
student Andrea Manning. They stopped by On Second Thought Friday
morning to preview the event and detail the students’ list of
demands .
