Thousands of Canadians will be taking to the streets Friday for this month’s second Global Climate Strike, intended to pressure world leaders to take urgent action on climate change.
Last Friday’s protests in cities around the world got a boost from a number of music stars on social media. Here’s a look at some of their messages:
A note from Billie: “TICK TOCK! our time is running out. the climate crisis is very real. we need to speak up and demand that our leaders take action. #climatestrike #fridaysforfuture @greenpeace @gretathunberg” pic.twitter.com/2rbc6Pdr2p
