Heppner Climate Strike Changes Its Name

For Immediate Release

The group previously known as the "Heppner Climate Strike" will now be known as "Fight For Our Future." Fight For Our Future is a group of community members who are dedicated to educating Heppner and surrounding communities about climate change and other environmental issues. This change has been prompted by the fact that Fight For Our Future (FFOF) wants to focus on education efforts in the future. Hunter Houck, a co-founder of FFOF said, "We have decided to focus on educating the public. The new name communicates what we are doing better than our previous name. We are fighting for our future by educating our community about climate change so that it can make well-informed, eco-friendly choices." Fight For Our Future looks forward to working with the community in the future. Its' planning team is currently planning on having an event in the upcoming months. The event will be very different from the previous one, focusing on education and communication rather than visibility. FFOF would like to invite others to get involved.
