Wisconsin School Strike for Climate Justice!

My name is Max, I'm a student in Madison, Wisconsin, and I'm worried that my children won't have the experience I did when I grew up.  My generation is living with the fear that the planet I've grown up in will not be the same by the end of my lifetime. 

Across Europe, students have been expressing the same sentiment in powerful waves of protests. Students have been going on strike to show why governments have an obligation to protect our future from this climate crisis. Now, we are bringing the 'school strike for climate', created by Greta Thunberg, to the United States and we need your support to help us spread the message. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change we have 11 years to take action on climate change across the globe or we’ll see irreversible effects of it.  This shouldn't come lightly, and we should be scared. 

On March 15, students across the planet will walk out of class and strike for climate action. We're striking because those in charge have abused this beautiful planet and its resources. There is no Planet B.

To make this happen we need funds. We need funds to bus students from across the state to demand change. We also need funds to procure sound systems and promotional material. With your donations, we can accomplish this.

Your help would go towards saving this planet and our group of organizers would be extremely grateful to you for your donation. Saving this planet can't just be done by the few who take initiative, it takes every single one of us standing up, donating, striking, and demanding change to prevent our planet from undertaking irreversible effects from climate change. Decades of inaction has left us with 11 years to solve the climate crisis. If anything is to be done, it has to be done now. Please donate to help us make our voices heard. Thank you.
