Virtual Global Climate Strike on St Andrews Radio 19th of March 2021 | Student Climate Activists from St Andrews and Keele University

On Friday the 19th of March 2021, the Fridays for Future movement organised another global climate strike. To stand in solidarity with the global action we organised an on-air climate strike discussion among student activists. I was joined in the virtual St Andrews Radio studio by Heather from the St Andrews Rector’s Committee, Francesca from my Environment Subcommittee, Juliette from Extinction Rebellion St Andrews, and Tom from XR Unis Keele University. We spoke about the importance of digital climate strikes, the impact of the pandemic, Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion, XR Unis, as well as the perks and difficulties of online campaigning and activism. We interacted with the buzzbox on STAR radio and shared events and climate strikes that we participated in that inspired us. We also talk about the St Andrews Line in the Sand actions in 2019 and 2020 and the power of citizens coming together to call for action. #NoMoreEmptyPromises #GlobalClimateStrike #ClimateActivists Thank you for tuning in and supporting the climate movement. Make sure to follow Eco-Activist Journeys for more inspiring discussions on sustainability and climate action. Best wishes, Léa
