University of Louisville students and faculty joined the international #FridaysForFuture movement with their own event, “The Student Strike 4 Climate Justice,” which took place Feb. 22.
The rally started at Mayor Greg Fischer’s office where they then walked three miles to campus and ended their demonstration in front of the Bingham Humanities building.
Senior public health major Avalon Gupta VerWiebe co-hosted the event with the Director of Earth Church Valerie Magnuson.
“The overall goal is to bring Kentucky’s voices into the global movement because climate change and pollution impacts us so heavily here,” said Gupta VerWiebe.
