From La Crosse Students for Climate Future:
The Strike CONTINUES!
STRIKE for our FUTURE
Friday, September 20 was our first strike. Led by the Fridays for Future, La Crosse chapter, we joined millions around the world to highlight the extreme crisis we face and called out elected "leaders" who are not doing nearly enough. More than 300 constituents signed a letter to US Rep. Ron Kind urging him to co-sponsor and support five specific bills. So far, he has not taken any action to cosponsor crucial climate legislation nor provided a date for a promised meeting with youth.

Print & post our flyers for November 29 and December 6.
NOVEMBER 29
1) BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY from 7:30 to
8:30 at the intersection of La Crosse Street and Losey Boulevard. Black Friday themed signs will be
provided, but please bring your own if you can.
2) STAND FOR CLIMATE ACTION WITH LOCAL
STUDENTS from Noon to 2 p.m. on the west side of City Hall (along
Third Street). People can join in whatever time they are able. BRING
A SIGN if you can or use the extra signs available for anyone who
needs one.
3) PLEDGE TO TAKE PERSONAL ACTION. Use
our list of suggested actions below or come up with your own. Please
pledge to take at least one action on this day in solidarity with
Fridays for Future, Sunrise Movement, 350.org, Sierra Club, and more
below. Our list will be updated as new ideas and resources are
available.
DECEMBER 6
Please join us in another crucial push
to make our U.S. elected officials pay attention to the climate
crisis during the next global climate summit in Madrid from December
2 - 13 (a.k.a. COP25 at https://unfccc.int/cop25).
How? Sign up to strike with us at the
La Crosse offices of U.S. Rep. Ron Kind and U.S. Senator Tammy
Baldwin.
Where? 205 5th Ave. South, La Crosse,
WI, 54601.
We will be striking at this location in
order to follow up on our petition from the last climate strike on
September 20th, 2019. We wish to show our representatives that we are
not only able to show up on paper, but in person as well. We are
asking you to sign up for the times that you are able to attend, so
that we can keep the pressure on them ALL DAY LONG. Please sign up
for more than one time slot if you are able! We will wear all black,
in order to symbolize the danger and death that people and many
living things face due to the accelerating climate emergency. We hope
that everyone will bring signs as well. We suggest that these signs
have clocks or other symbols of urgency on them--in order to show
that there is little time left for strong action.
