Thousands of workers and major unions are supporting the youth-led student climate strikes September 20-27. Here’s how workers and unions can join them:
- Join actions in your area: US Action Map, Global Action Map
- Register your action (and encourage others in your community to register) on the map
- Take an inter-generational pic with youth
- post to LNS’s Facebook Page
- Tag #strikewithus and #climatestrike #labor4climatestrike
- Sign on as a partner organization with Strike with US (part of how we can raise labor’s visibility is to have as many worker organizations signing on!)
- Please share your climate strike action plans with LNS by emailing [email protected]
- Send an email with this information to your own list and lists from your union, worker center or labor council.
- Pass a resolution in your union supporting the climate strikes, the Green New Deal, and LNS. The following unions are engaged in supporting the youth climate strikes:
