High School Youth Demand Climate Justice - NYC

Zero Hour NYC Youth Climate March - Youth call upon policymakers to cut ties with the fossil fuel industry and invest in a sustainable future and for every level of governance to separate themselves from the fossil fuel industry and support a transition to 100% renewable energy. Zero Hour NYC is a coalition of city students dedicated to combating climate change and furthering a sustainable future. Per the Zero Hour event page on Facebook “We are frustrated with how special interest politics have stymied legislative progress toward environmental and social justice. Reliance on dirty energy is not only putting people’s future at risk, but also their present. As extreme weather and natural disasters occur more frequently around the world, we are seeing the emergence of a new climate refugee crisis and an unprecedented scarcity of resources... If lawmakers won’t lead the way on their own, us students are ready to push them." #zerohour #ThisIeZeroHour (Footage by Tomas Abad/Getty Images).
