Summary

On March 15th more than 1,5 million young people in 2069 cities of 125 countries across world went on strike from school calling for real climate action. In Canberra students spoke to a massive crowd overflowing from every edge of Garema Place. The speeches were some of the best I have ever heard and now Earth Matters brings some of them to you as well as music and chants. Hear the mass phone call the strikers made to Scott Morrisons office.Later in the show we join Will Douglas, the Moruya teacher, who has been suspended from teaching  for supporting the school strike.Here is the link to the fundraiser to help him stay financially afloat until his work ban by the Departement of Education has been lifted following its enquiry into his conduct. All he did was: while at a forum outside school time, recomend that students who are attending the strike register as the Student Strike requests. Go Fund Me: Click Here: Support Will Douglas, climate action not pay halt The film of the Student Strikers in Canberra 15 March 2109,  will soon be at  Utube Channel: Rebecca Horridge:  MAY24, 2nd Global Climate Strike For Future 2nd Global Climate Strike For Future Australia: Facebook Event: 2nd Global Climate Strike For Future Global  Facebook Event:More information at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_strike_for_climateEarth Matters #1182  was produced by Bec Horridge
