young people are mobilizing everywhere in France and calling for a global strike

In several cities in France, young people responded on Friday, September 23, to the call for a global strike for climate justice, launched by the Fridays for Future movement, six months after the last major global mobilization. For these young people from Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), only radical and systemic change will make it possible to get out of the climate crisis. “We no longer believe in magic. Capitalism is certainly not. It’s a vermin that must be eliminated“, explains one of them.

In Lille (Nord), in addition to climate change, another reality suffers from no dispute: we must tackle the problem head-on, now, before it is too late. “Personally, I think it’s super important to mobilize young people, because we’re the first and last generation to experience climate change so violently.“, explains this Lille.
