      Students in Gisborne on the picket line today, demanding the #NZ government take more action to transition the country to #RenewableEnergy sources, and do our bit to keep #GlobalWarming under 1.5 degrees.

            #RadioNZ offers a soundtrack for today's #Stike4Climate actions, one that also, in a weird way, maybe speaks to what we need to change to prevent any repeats of the shocking incident that happened today in Ōtautahi:

                  Maybe the next step for the kids joining in #Strike4Climate actions today could be to start supporting or joining in with #ExtinctionRebellion actions?

      Students and supporters of the #Strike4Climate gather outside parliament, the house of representatives where the elected government of #NZ do their work:

            @notclacke can't wait to get some figures on the total number of people protesting. I wonder if it was bigger than the global day of action against the invasion of Iraq?

               @notclacke have you heard of anyone participating in #Strike4Climate in mainland China?

                  @strypey You'd know better than me. :-)
                  
                  I'm not really following this very closely. Haven't even checked what went on in HK.
                  
                  I wouldn't be surprised if people on the mainland were mostly oblivious to the whole thing.
