If you’re near central Ōtautahi-Christchurch, today is the latest #SchoolStrike4Climate. My daughter’s one of the students working hard to plan the event. They want pressure on the Christchurch City Council and the NZ government to step up in this time of crisis.

It starts at the Bridge of Remembrance 1PM. Everyone is welcome incl. adults. Make noise, have fun, and show solidarity with our rangatahi freaked out by NZ’s lack of climate leadership.

Rangatahi are calling for the Government to safeguard their future by allowing them a livable planet for generations to come. Furthermore, they are demanding the sovereignty of marginalised and indigenous communities both in Aotearoa, and across the globe.

Not many schoolkids at the #Palmy rally though. Older students maybe; one woman wore a mortarboard. The march around the block gained a few onlookers.
Up to schools to decide if protesters' absences were justified - principals

Associate Education Minister David Seymour criticised the rallies, saying students should be in school rather than protesting.

John Legend - If You're Out There

No more broken promises
No more call to war
Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy hunger
We can conquer hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

Thinking of #SS4C and all the young people taking action

Here's another Muse song - so many of their songs are relevant to #BetterWorld or threats we need to overcome.

"Time Is Running Out" could easily be an #SS4C theme too with accelerating #ClimateChange

This afternoon’s big noisy protest through the streets of Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, led the protest into the Christchurch City Council building. Inside there were speeches and art and music and a question-and-answer session with five councillors. Then the students sat on the floor and wrote submissions to the city’s Long Term Plan. Now they’re barn dancing!

The kids are much more than alright. Let them vote already!
