Greetings of peace and solidarity!
I am writing in behalf of 350.org Pilipinas one of the groups supporting Climate Youth Strike Philippines which is a part of the rising international movement of school students who are dedicating their Fridays to take part in demonstrations to demand action to prevent further global warming and climate change.
The movement is inspired by the ideals and initiatives of the 16 year old activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg who first gained widespread acclaim when she staged an action in August 2018 outside the Swedish Riksdag (parliament), holding a sign that read “Skolstrejk för klimatet” (“School strike for the climate”).
We are writing to invite your participation for the upcoming global climate strike that will be happening in Manila on May 24, 2019. Climate Youth Strike Philippines will be joining youth from all over the world in taking the streets to call for drastic and ambitious climate action from the Philippine government.
The activity will be a solidarity march from Morayta to Mendiola where the organizers will hold a short program comprising of solidarity messages and cultural performances from participating organizations.
We hope you can be a part of our small gesture to stand in solidarity with the global call of the youth to rise up to the challenge of the climate crisis.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me through my email chuck@350.org or through my number +639272412743 for more information or to confirm your participation to the climate strike on the 24th.
Looking forward to see you on the day.
Sincerely,
Chuck Baclagon
