This January, for the first time ever, school strike leaders from across Australia are coming together in person to make plans for 2020. Can you donate to support the costs of bringing dozens of students together?

Friends --

Australia is on fire. People are hurting. Lives and homes have been lost. Schools shut. Workers unable to work. People struggling to breathe. And summer has only just begun.

Yet our politicians are nowhere to be seen when we need their leadership most.

History reminds us over and again, that movements of everyday people can overcome the terrifying and seemingly impossible. With our politicians missing in action, that is the task that we as school students are rising to.

And that's why school strike leaders across Australia are coming together in January for our first ever face to face national meeting to make even bolder plans to tackle the climate crisis in 2020 and beyond.

Can you chip in to support our inaugural SS4C Summit by donating to our national crowdfunder?

Your donation will cover the costs of accommodation, venue hire, food and travel support to enable students from all across our national network to join in.

We’ll be reflecting on what we’ve achieved so far, building processes and structures to make our movement more resilient, fostering strong relationships and shaping big bold plans for the coming year to move forward with hope, power and courage.

School Strike 4 Climate is just one year old. During that time, we have have mobilised over half a million Australians and climate change has risen to become Australians' #1 concern. [1]

But we know that it takes more than mobilising to change the world. To lock in lasting change, we need to build a bigger, bolder plan and get organised so we are involving everyone, everywhere.

We hope you will support us to pull off this first ever event for our network.

With much appreciation,

The School Strikers 4 Climate

PS: Please forward this email to friends and family and ask them to chip in too!
