Global Climate Strike Sept 20-27. Are You Ready?

By: Dee Fitzgerald, Marketing and PR Manager at W.S. Badger

The global youth movement is sounding the alarm on the climate crisis. Ever since Swedish student Greta Thunberg went on strike in August 2018, students around the world have organized school strikes demanding bold climate action. This September, youth are calling on all of us (individuals, business leaders, change makers, public officials and everyone in between) to join them in catalyzing action in our communities. As a sustainably driven business and a member of NHBSR, we’re answering the call by joining and amplifying the #ClimateStrike. Will you join us?

September 20th kicks off a week of action. Millions will walk out of their workplaces and homes to demand immediate, just and equitable climate solutions on scale with the crisis before us.

Here’s how you can get involved

Join a Climate Strike - Find a rally near you at globalclimatestrike.net

Donate to the Youth Climate Action Fund - Consider donating money to help support the movement. The Youth Climate Action Fund provides financial support to local youth strike groups who apply for funding.

Closing our office - The building will be shut on September 20th to allow employees to volunteer at local regenerative farms, and participate in local climate strikes. 
Amplifying #ClimateStrike - We’ll use all our communication channels to get the word out.
“Green Out” badgerbalm.com - On September 24th, for 24 hours, our website will be closed for business. Visitors to our website will instead find #ClimateStrike messaging and a call to action.
