DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of High School and Middle School students from around the Bay Area 
  strike from school, visit the offices of Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein 
  to demand a Green New Deal and urgent action to address the climate 
 crisis\n\nWHO: Hundreds of middle and high school youth activists from San 
 Francisco, Oakland, Marin and the Peninsula.\n\nWHEN: Friday, March 15th, 
 10 am to noon \n\nWHERE: Starting at Nancy Pelosi’s office, 90 7th St. 
 SF;  marching past Dianne Feinstein’s office, 1 Post St, SF; rallying at 
 Union Square.\n\nArt Build Sunday, March 10th, noon- 4pm, 350 Alabama St, 
 San Francisco, 94110\n\nWHAT: Local high school and middle school students 
 will strike from school to demand immediate drastic action to address the 
 climate crisis. They plan to rally first at the office of Speaker of the 
 House Nancy Pelosi to urge her to back the Green New Deal, as introduced by 
 Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.\n\nThey will then march past the 
 office of Senator Dianne Feinstein, where a group of youth activists 
 recently demanded her support of the Green New Deal and were initially 
 rejected in an interaction that went viral. Those initial 12 youth will now 
 be joined by hundreds or thousands more adding their voices to the 
 demand.\n\nFinally students will rally at Union Square, where numerous 
 youth will be speaking about the urgent need for the Green New Deal and how 
 it can impact their lives. The entire rally will be youth led featuring 
 chanting, drumming, poems, speeches, and youth MCs. \n\nWHY: The youth are 
 tired of elected officials not caring to listen to the youth when they 
 express the urge to stop climate change.  We will yell, we will scream, and 
 we will cry for our future. Scientists say that we have 12 years to turn 
 the tides of climate change. Scientists also say that we are already seeing 
 the disastrous effects of climate change.  From the increasing wildfires, 
 to the hurricanes that demolish cities, we have to act now. In addition to 
 this, for years this country has refused to listen to communities of color 
 about the pollution that destroys their health. For years, this country has 
 chosen profit over lives. Today, scientists find that a significant portion 
 of the population does not have access to basic needs like clean and clean 
 water.  It is time we demand a change. It is time we fight for the future 
 of all our people, not just a specific few. We fight for our future and the 
 for the future of not just this country, but for the world.\n
