The Chicago-Kent College of Law Environmental Law Society and the National Lawyers Guild accepts the reality of climate science and the effects of climate change on our planet. Human induced climate change is an urgent issue, particularly for young people who will be living with these effects for generations to come. We understand the importance of students being allowed to express their views in an effect to amplify awareness on this critical issue. Therefore, we support Chicago-Kent students’ absence so they may represent their views on climate change in light of the global climate strike.

Inspired by young climate activist Greta Thunberg, there will be a local climate strike happening in Chicago today. The Chicago climate strike will be 11am-3pm. The march begins at the Grant Park intersection of S. Columbus Dr. and E. Roosevelt Rd. and marches towards Federal Plaza.
