Student Activists to Lead Global Climate Strike on Friday
---------------------------------------------------------

Youth activists around the globe are holding a climate strike on Friday,
September 24, including here in New York City, which will coincide with
the U.N.'s Climate Week. Ahead of the strike, Swedish climate activist
Greta Thunberg said the movement also needs to tackle racism, sexism and
inequality.

Greta Thunberg: "The climate crisis is caused by the same thing that is
also fueling other crises and inequality around the world and the
ecological crisis. And we cannot just solve one of these crises without
also addressing the others."
