Support the Climate Strike Movement!

It's a Climate Emergency.

And on September 20th, we're filling the streets.

On Friday the 15th of March 2019 1.6 million people took part in a global climate strike in more than 125 countries in more than 2,000 locations. In Ireland more than 15,000 students [1] took part in protests for urgent climate action. This September 20th, we're going to smash this number. But we need people who care about taking action on climate to be part of it. If you can, read on.

What can I do?

1. Join a Student-led March!

School-age students have self-organised marches around the country and they need you to attend. Check here and here for details or consult the table below which we will update until September 20th. If you’re able, take the day or some time and attend one of these student-led marches!

• Dublin: Gathering 12:00 at Customs House, marching at 12:30 to Merrion Sq., rallying 13:00 - 14:00 at Merrion Sq. in front of Govt. buildings
