Triangle Climate Strike Recap – Photos and Videos

October 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

On Friday, September 20, 2019 NC Interfaith Power and Light participated in the biggest climate strike in North Carolina history. Raleigh’s event was only one strike in the hundreds that happened all over the world for the Global Climate Strike. It was the largest worldwide climate mobilization ever and the largest youth-led mobilization on any issue in history. It was estimated that 1500 youth climate leaders and adult allies came out to Raleigh striking to demand transformative action be taken to address the climate crisis.

The photos below are just a snapshot of the passion and energy that was seen and felt at the Raleigh Climate Strike. Don’t miss our youth-made video of participants sharing their reasons for striking! We hope the photos and video below inspire you to take action in your own faith communities!

NCIPL Youth Leaders Initiative – “For The Love Of” Video

Here is a video that one of our youth made. Tristan Peedin, 16 years old, interviewed and edited this compilation video of strikers at the Climate Strike last Friday in Raleigh, NC. At NCIPL we recognize that storytelling is a powerful way to educate, inspire, and mobilize this climate justice movement.

We asked each interviewee to share with us their “For the love of” reason for striking! The ages range from 7-61! An intergenerational movement led by the youth – the generation who will carry the most weight of this climate crisis.
