Teenagers are scheduled to rally at the Utah Capitol on Friday as part of a worldwide student strike to call for combating climate change.
The rally will be at 10 a.m., according to a Facebook page promoting Utah’s slice of the event. As of mid-morning Thursday, only 63 people have confirmed attendance, not all of them students.
Mishka Banuri, an 18-year-old student at West High School in Salt Lake City, told The Washington Post that her faith is one reason she is motivated to encourage action on climate change. Banuri is Muslim and believes in being a steward of the earth.
