DESCRIPTION:Oakland Youth and Frontline Communities Organize a Resilient Village in 
 front of City Hallways\n\nStudents strike from school to learn “science 
 for survival,” push bold climate policy, and create street murals and 
 performances to unify against climate injustice. \n\nWHO: Hundreds of 
 students and frontline communities from Oakland and the larger bay area. 
 Sponsoring groups including: Mycelium Youth Network, Poor Magazine, Oakland 
 Climate Action Coalition, and Anti Police Terror Project.\n\nWHEN: Friday, 
 January 17th, 10am to 1pm \n\nWHERE: Oscar Grant/ Frank Ogawa Plaza, 
 Oakland, CA 94612\n\nWHAT: Oakland middle and high school students will 
 strike from school, along with adult allies, to create a “resilient 
 village” that teaches the community how to advocate for climate action 
 and build resilience to climate breadown . To educate our people, we will 
 have four quadrants: Science for Survival, Civic Engagement, Visual Arts, 
 and Voice and Performance. Science for survival will contain hands on 
 projects like learning how to use car batteries as an energy source, how to 
 purify water, and how to practice carbon sequestration in your home. In 
 civic engagement people will learn how to engage with politicians and ways 
 we can try to persuade them into making our world into a better place 
 through policies like the Green New Deal. Visual arts will contain a huge 
 street mural. Voice and Performance will contain speeches, drumming, 
 dances, music, and more. The quadrants will educate our youth and community 
 in a fun and friendly way to show how to live sustainably in an unjust 
 world.\n\nWHY: Youth want to create a community where we can recognize the 
 importance of unity while learning about  climate change.  As the problems 
 of climate change are getting worse, we are going to need to be united so 
 we can create change.  A resiliency village will help us realize we have 
 more in common with each other than we do with the people who have created 
 this climate crisis. We are the ones being impacted so we need to 
 acknowledge our similarities and fight as a whole. Our community deserves 
 to know how they will be affected by climate chaos. People of color are the 
 people who are being most affected by climate change. They are also the 
 ones who have not contributed to this climate chaos as much as the people 
 in power who are predominantly, rich white men.  As the ones being affected 
 by climate change, we are also the ones left with this problem to solve, so 
 we must unite to learn and fight.\n\nVISUALS: Street murals, giant banners, 
 activity booths, youth dancing, youth drumming, youth speeches.\n
