Later this week, kids will skip school again to take part in a massive global climate strike. Their demands are clear: urgent action to stop the climate crisis.
As adults in Europe, next week is our opportunity to not just hear the strikers’ call to action, but to also act on it. We have something the striking kids don’t yet have: the power to vote in the European elections.
If you can vote in an EU country, make sure to head to the polls between 23 and 26 May. [1] As you check the box, remember the kids marching on the streets for the climate, and vote as if their future depended on it: because it does.
Here’s what you can do now: help convince others that it matters that they #voteclimate in this European elections. Take a look at this short video and share it with your friends and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or via Whatsapp!
