“Thunberg will join Edmonton youth and other activists in a “climate strike” at the Alberta Legislature.
The event is organized in collaboration with Climate Justice Edmonton, Indigenous Climate Action, Edmonton Youth for Climate, Beaver Hills Warriors and other grassroots groups and community organizers, says a Wednesday news release. The rally will begin at Beaver Hills House Park, 10440 Jasper Ave N.W., at 11 a.m. and end at the Alberta Legislature.
Friday’s strike will be the latest in a series which have drawn thousands to the legislature grounds demanding government action on climate change. Those demands include a Canadian Green New Deal — a plan to transition to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030 that protects workers and upholds Indigenous rights.”
