How can I help?
If you want to strike, first, you should understand what it means for you and your job; depending on your occupation, like some state employees, a strike may be considered illegal. As Vice suggests, you might initially suggest to a supervisor to close their doors for the day (or even just a couple of hours) to honor the strike. “Probably this won’t be successful if you work for a large corporation like Chase Bank or Walmart,” Geoff Dembicki writes for Vice. “But small businesses like coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and clothing stores could be receptive. The same goes for medium-size office workplaces.”
Alternatively, use your lunch break to join a local demonstration; you should check out the Strike With Us’ website to find nearby events. Depending on your location, Climate Strike events might be taking place throughout the week, too. And if calling out sick is out of the question, you can donate to organizations like the US Youth Climate Strike (all proceeds will go toward future strikes and initiatives according to their GoFundMe page). And make a public statement of support on social media and help amplify the strike’s message.
Climate activists hope to bring U.S. capital to standstill on September 23.

Environmental groups, including Extinction Rebellion, said on Wednesday they plan to shut down traffic in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 23 and bring daily life to a standstill to demand action by U.S. politicians on tackling climate change.
The roughly 15 groups planning the protest include traditional environmental groups like 350 DC and Friends of the Earth Action, as well as groups that focus on other issues, such as Black Lives Matter and Code Pink, a women-led group promoting peace and human rights.
Kaela Bamberger, an activist aligned with Extinction Rebellion DC, said the coalition plans to ratchet up pressure on policymakers by shutting down traffic at major intersections because rallies, marches and petitions have not worked.
“This is definitely a next-level action. The urgency of climate change warrants such an attempt to disrupt business as usual... to make it impossible for people with decision-making power to go about their daily lives as if we are not in the climate emergency,” Bamberger said in an interview.
