On September 27th at 11:00 AM, join with millions of students around the world as we walk-out from class in solidarity with Greta Thunberg and the Fridays for Future movement in support of lasting climate action.
AUArts students, staff, and faculty are invited to join us in the Main Mall from 11:00-11:30 AM to come together in support of a livable future for us all. Attendants are then encouraged to join the city-wide strike at City Hall beginning at noon if they are able to do so.
The changing climate is the biggest issue of our time. As artists and creatives, we are uniquely poised to think through this challenge and stand up for this world we live and make in. We only have 11 years to make lasting change that will avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis. The time to act is now, and young people are leading the way as we are the ones who will live longest with what occurs in this world.
