Kids' (Str)Hike for Climate Survey

Fridays for Future Canada is a branch of an international grassroots, youth-led organization—yes, that’s Greta Thunberg in the picture on their main page, and the whole movement is modeled on the weekly climate strikes that she started, solo, sitting outside the Swedish Parliament every Friday (instead of being in school) at the age of 15. They support networking among local grassroots youth organizers to demand immediate, drastic change in the policies that prolong the age of fossil fuels and prevent us from powering down and shifting to sustainable energy sources. Fridays for Future strikes are no longer weekly in most places, but are coordinated in less frequent, more powerful actions, including a major worldwide action on September 24th that we’re linking with by doing our climate (str)hike on that date.

For Our Kids is a network of parents and grandparents in Canada fighting for a green, equitable, and just world for our kids and grandkids. They support local actions by networking between community-based groups to share resources and ideas, encouraging parents and others who care for kids to organize their own actions that fit the places where they live. For Our Kids will be sharing our Hike for Climate idea nationally within their network and encouraging communities to take Kaslo’s idea and run (or rather hike?) with it.

350.org is a large, international climate action organisation that uses a wide variety of actions to pressure governments and corporations to take meaningful action on climate. They describe themselves as follows: “We're an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.” Their three-pronged approach includes demanding a fast and just transition to 100% renewable energy for all, a ban on all future fossil fuel exploration and development, and cutting off public and private funding for fossil fuel companies.

My family would like to participate but we'll opt out of the group donation and send our pledges to an organization of our own choosing.
