the kids are mad as hell
this is the second student led youth climate strike in charlottesville this year. after the last one, a man was so inspired by this youth-led initiative that he took to a tree.

after hearing from the two youth organizers, we’ll hear from house delegate candidate @SallyLHudson and cville city council candidates @senaforcville and @MPayneCville
“we’re the ones who have to live in this dying world,” says a child too young to vote, but old enough to know something has to be done.
“we all have a right and responsibility to protect the planet,” says another student, a guatemalan immigrant who addressed the crowd in spanish.
after being handed the megaphone by the 11 year old organizer, @SallyLHudson says people sometimes tell her she’s a little too young to be running for office, to which she says “wait until you see the next wave.”
@CvilleDSA’s youngest member shows @MPayneCville, the candidate we’ve endorsed for city council, how to use our chapter co-chair’s megaphone ❤️
“there will be people who push back, people who tell you you don’t know how politics really works, that you’re being uncivil... i’m telling you: don’t listen to them!” @MPayneCville tells the youth organizers.
city council candidate @senaforcville calls for “aggressive action now.”
“we need to stop backing dominion power. we need to take the money they want to put into a pipeline and put it into renewable energy.”
“the pipeline will fail. our planet is not for sale.”
