The 12-year-old seventh grader from Denver, Colorado, protests climate change outside government buildings and businesses. She calls out state lawmakers in speeches at town halls and on Twitter. And on Friday, she'll take on her biggest endeavor yet: co-organizing the US Youth Climate Strike, a national student protest on March 15.
So they start blocking us out. They start blocking out everything. They sort of don't listen to us anymore. But us doing this radical action, risking our education and not going to school, that gets their attention. What gives you hope? One, we have a ton of different renewable energy sources and we don't even need coal plants anymore. Two, what gives me hope is that I know we can do it. I know we can do it in 11 years. We can do so much in 11 years.
Protest on your weekend, that’ll make a better point. All kids like skipping school. 🙄
She’ll be working at McDonald’s soon
Stay in school, don’t skip, and learn the systems the world actually runs on, and how to work them/play them. This is how you make change. Not by holding signs.
Well, she is obsessed. Not healthy. Adults should intervene, but they don’t, so ultimately the child suffers. Good job, adults!
Skip school, i can see you want to work in McDonald's
Has anyone sat down with her and tell her the truth
How's this a 12 year old Or did you mean 22?
Leaving school ain't doin nothing but hurtin yerself! Listen to ol Cletus, stay in school! You can't put 'held up a sign' on your resume' unless you wanna dress up like lady liberty for minimum wage spinning an arrow/sign on the side of the road. GoBackToClass SignWaver
She looks like 30~
Woke Hookey 😂
High grade weed in use
I went on a no pizza comprimosition acanan
School kids are the ones who will be the most impacted by climate change. Youngsters must be fully instructed on environmental issues. However, the big question is how to break up this system based on consumerism?
34.
So she spits in the face of a free education given to her to go out and throw a temper tantrum and make pointless political statements... Looks like someone´s going to summer school.
The Melania body doubles other job
Who’s going to pay the truancy bill?
How about going to school so you can actually learn useful things to help the world. And shame on the adults backing this child centered propaganda.
I'm skipping this article in protest
Lots of outraged (jealous) adults here, who clearly would be happy to go on strike from their job if it meant getting a pay rise!!
Indoctrinating the youth. Its really creepy and abusive to use kids to promote an agenda. Terrifying them to death is wrong . Make your points in better ways
What these indoctrination schools are teaching our children is tragic.
Way to make it sound ridiculous.
Did it work?
Stupid.
She's creating a false impression of how many kids are part of her movement by having it on a Friday... Show me how many kids show up on Saturday, then I'll take your movement seriously.
This 12 year old needs to dress like a 12 year old and go learn something in school like, I don't know, something about GOVERNMENT!!!!
That’s stupid.
Please don't report on the numbers Monday. 99% of them are just fvcking off at home.
My mom would have had me for lunch...
I did my part as a kid too.
Successful people get an education, work hard, take care of themselves, and help others. Protester stand around, don't work, complain about other people, and demand others take care of them.
Already so angry...
I used to do the same thing. Not protest against climate change. But skip school to smoke weed and drink alcohol with my friends. It was arguably more productive than this will be. At least I was able to write a few new songs for my band instead of standing around with a sign
That'll work
'Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin...' and 'The Lord Will Destroy the Destroyers of the Earth...'.
I pretty sure AOC skipped her history and logic classes too, see what we got to deal with now?
Most 12 year olds would miss a day of school to celebrate “Hitler Appreciation Day” if they could.
She also gets to miss a day of school.
Today kids need to take a stand!! People will listen. Gun reform and now Climate Reform is ALL ABOUT THEIR FUTURE!! Get the old to wake up! CARE!!! Data from 1960 show our goverment has known about CO2 increases. ENOUGH DENIAL!! ENOUGH OIL AND COAL GREED! Save earth for tomorrow.
Relax, Steve Jobs
I feel safer already, get back to class and stop skipping school..oh right everyone gets a trophy now, attendance not required.
Brainwashing our children with this climate change garbage. Our public are some of the worst globally, but yet they are forcing this garbage down our children's throats.
Just like Normandy
She is wasting her time. The world can't be saved by skiping school. Must have knowledge first.
This is a 12 year old!?
It's all about saving the planet, man. I've been skipping work the past six weeks, and I can't wait to tell my boss about all the world saving I've been doing.
Homework, No. Pass Go and head straight to Congress.😁
Truancy helps no one.
MAKE the economy scream until I cry in pain' asked Nixon in 1970 to overthrow Allende. This morning CNN portrayed the blow that the sabotage to the electrical system caused to the people of Venezuela AND THE SILENT ATTACK Is the recipe known?
You're more likely to save the world by getting an education rather than standing on the sidewalk grandstanding. Phony virtue is being instilled in young people thanks to the propaganda from fake news outlets like CNN.
This 12 yo is getting national coverage of a problem that has gone on too long unattended. But by all means please take a shit on a young woman who seeks to address the problems surrounding climate change.
Enjoy the blizzard lass.
That girl looks 12 going on 45
Added bonus: 'Im not in math class today, math sucks.'
Is that a 12-year-old?
Not going to work. 😏😏😏😏🤦♀️
Lol liberals and their heroes
I will eat a triple cheeseburger all day Friday in her honor with the AC on full blast with the windows open. Hahahhaha Hahahahah
Ask her she feels about giving up her smartphone for the cause.
This kid should come to Africa
No social care
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I skipped school in protest when I was in college. I protested for all those who struggle with alcohol abuse plus I was hungover
Publicity...only. Look at me.
Put her in jail.
Grounded.
A testament to brainwashing.
Sure hope she doesn’t want to be a Supreme Court justice!
Lame.
Where are these kid’s parents?
Yes skipping you responsibilities is saving the world. Fing democrats need to learn priorities.
when all these kids have started paying bills and living in the real world I might pay attention to their politics. Until then
😮🤔 NO
This is how the uneducated liberals begin.
