Metro students prepare to protest, disrupt in call for climate action
Students across metro Atlanta are expected to leave school and hit the streets Friday to protest the lack of government action on climate issues.
Their actions, combined with that of millions of other demonstrators, may turn out to be the world’s largest climate protest ever.The movement — here and internationally — is being led by young people. And they’re demanding to be heard.
“I believe our politicians are taking pity on us because we are younger than adults and they feel we don’t have a voice because we aren’t old enough to vote,” said Jordan Madden, 15, a sophomore at Mt. Zion High School in Jonesboro. “Young people across the country have the power to make change.”
