I just spent a couple of hours at my local climate strike in my small town of 25k with about 150 people in attendance. It was organized by a local high school junior. A poised and obviously smart young woman (more feminine energy again). It was inspiring. She was so humble … her biggest fear was maybe only 10 people would show up.

I saw many adults that show up at most of the progressive events in town. One state government representative spoke. He was a Democrat. I suspect there were very few Republicans in attendance.

I hope the children can motivate the adults to act like they adults they should be.

My question to the Climate Change Deniers is “What if you are wrong?”. Is it worth gambling your children’s lives and your grandchildren’s lives?

Predatory capitalism is a very powerful force. I hope we can have the intelligence to recognize our fall and the courage to make the changes necessary before we hit bottom.

Ok adults … you can quit acting like the spoiled brats we are and be grownups … if you don’t our kids won’t ever get to be grownups.
