On Friday, September 20th, youth around the world will be striking for
climate justice. It will be the largest youth-led mass demonstration in
world history. This demonstration is especially important to show elected
leaders how strongly we care about combating climate change. To participate
in the movement, meet at 8:30 across from the A gate. From there, BHS
students will take BART to San Francisco to join the march. If paying for
BART is an issue for you, we have BART cards that can be requested by
filling out a google form.

Strike on September 20th to demand climate action! Link to the google form:
