School Strike 4 Climate Dunedin co-ordinator and Kavanagh College pupil Hailey Xavier said pupils across the southern region would “stand united for the climate” once again during the School Strike 4 Climate New Zealand (SS4C) event tomorrow.
She said a small group of pupils would gather in the Octagon, in Dunedin, to write messages in chalk on the pavement.
Participants will write messages and draw pictures of clean rivers, flourishing native forests, and thousands of wind turbines among other environmentally friendly images.
Others will paint similar images and messages on protest signs, and will display them in their front windows.
Hailey said it was important to continue the momentum of last year’s SS4C events.
“I think it’s extremely important because right now we’re in a pandemic and we can’t all come together as a body. But we can do individual actions together and show our support.”
