DESCRIPTION:SILICON VALLEY YOUTH CLIMATE STRIKE: March & Rally in Downtown San 
 Jose\n\nWhen: Friday, September 20, 2019 @ 2:45 p.m. - 5 p.m.\n\nWhere: 
 March from Diridon Station (Caltrain & VTA) to San Jose City Hall \nRally 
 at plaza of San Jose City Hall\n\nWho: This youth-led climate strike 
 welcomes people of all ages to join in. \nPlease RSVP for the Climate 
 Strike at www.svyouthclimatestrike.org\n\nSeptember 20-27, 2019 has been 
 declared Global Climate Strike week, \nwith climate crisis actions 
 happening across the nation and around the world as \nthe UN Climate Change 
 Summit convenes in New York City. \n\nLast August 2018, Swedish student 
 Greta Thunberg, at just 15 years-old, sat in front of the Swedish 
 parliament every school day for three weeks protesting the lack of action 
 on the climate crisis. Greta decided to continue striking every Friday 
 until the Swedish policies provided a safe pathway well under 2-degree C, 
 i.e. in line with the Paris agreement. \n\nAs you may know, this year 
 thousands of Bay Area students are planning to join \nGreta Thunberg and 
 millions of hopeful protesters around the world in a Global Climate Strike. 
 \nWe will be hosting a local strike in Downtown San Jose on September 20, 
 2019. \n\nWe encourage students to talk to their teachers and classmates 
 about the strike \nand its climate demands. The Silicon Valley Youth 
 Climate Strike asks of \nLocal Governments, Schools, and Tech Companies to 
 \n\n1) Take Immediate Action To Be Carbon Neutral By 2025 \n\n2) Ensure a 
 Socially and Environmentally Just Transition Off of Fossil Fuels\n\nMARCH: 
 Our Climate Strike begins with a march from Diridon Station near downtown 
 \nSan Jose to the plaza of San Jose City Hall. We ask that attendees meet 
 at 2:45 pm at Diridon Station on Friday, September 20th. As we march to San 
 Jose City Hall, we will chant, sing songs, and hold up our signs. 
 \n\nRALLY: Once everyone reaches the city hall plaza, there will be a rally 
 with a variety of speakers, cheers, and news coverage. The strike will end 
 at around 5 p.m. on the City Hall steps. \n\nTo get your school involved, 
 please email svyouthclimatestrike@gmail.com and let us know your name, 
 phone number, and school. We will provide guidance and answer any questions 
 you might have.\n\nCo-organizers/Supporters:\n\n350 Silicon Valley\nSunrise
