In-person climate strikes are back!

The COVID-19 pandemic forced online many climate strikes during recent months.

But “Fridays for Future” has called for a Global Day of Climate Action on Friday 25 September, and strikes and demonstrations in line with pandemic safety recommendations are scheduled to take place around the world.

In places where in-person protests are still not feasible, people are encouraged to continue raising their voices online.

Here are seven ways to safely join the Global Day of Climate Action.

  1. Take a photo with a sign saying “I act for the climate because ___________” using #SeasonOfCreation #ClimateAction #ClimateStrike
    You can find the signs here.
  2. Participate in a Fridays For Future event near you, if it is safe to do so
  3. Pray for the strike
