Climate change is not just an issue that will affect our children or grandchildren; <\/span>it\u2019s an issue that affects all of us, right now. It particularly affects those of us in Generation Z, as the effects of climate change, as of present, will continue to increase in severity over the course of our lifetimes. <\/b>As Americans and as global citizens, we have a unique responsibility to take action\u2014and that\u2019s what our work as Co-Head Coordinators of<\/span> Zero Hour NYC<\/b><\/a> is all about. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re asking you \u2014 our peers, adult allies, and organizational partners\u2014to join us in a historic youth-led climate march on July 21st this summer. Sign up here to march with young people to demand the bold climate solutions we need<\/a><\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n\"Zero<\/a>\n

Zero Hour<\/b><\/a> was founded by Jamie Margolin, a 16-year-old from Seattle, Washington, who wanted to galvanize her peers in the fight against climate change. Since its founding, Zero Hour has worked to unite youth voices across the country and globe, and bridge social movements to create a powerful coalition dedicated to both social and environmental justice.<\/span> On July 21st, Zero Hour will stage an <\/b>international Youth Climate March<\/b><\/a>\u2014with the main march in Washington, DC and sister marches from NYC to Melbourne, Australia. <\/b><\/p>\n

Our demands for our cities, states, and countries are clear:<\/p>\n
