Why join the FFF?
1. Raise awareness: Everyone should know climate change is an urgent issue.
2. Show people that we care: This encourages others to speak up and join the fight against climate change.
3. Increase morale: It’s hard to take action if it all feels hopeless. Climate striking allows us to get together and show each other and our community that we won’t give up!
