Many Gadfly followers are committed to action on Climate Action. Student strike event today at 2PM Payrow Plaza.

Gadfly would like to cover but can’t make it.

Could one or more followers attend, participate, and send comments for posting here?

Michelle Merlin, “Lehigh Valley climate strikes planned for global day of action.” Morning Call, September 20, 2019.

  • Ashley Barrasso, a student and the president of the Climate Action Network at Northampton Community College’s Bethlehem campus, is also hoping people take note of the climate strike, including one at Payrow Plaza in Bethlehem.
  • She was inspired by Thunberg’s trip across the Atlantic, and realized that her group needed to participate in the global climate strike. One will take place at NCC’s campus from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and another in front of City Hall from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Lehigh University students are also planning a strike at 1 p.m. on campus and will move to Payrow Plaza.

It’s Friday, September 20, do you know where your local Climate Action Plan is?
