7/7 This party triggered our extinction by pushing a greed-based, climate-denying agenda. Will today’s youth, when all is collapsing & drowning around them in 20yrs, will they think fondly of us? I think not. So today at least take a stand. Show up. I will https://t.co/M1sJQUTcGx

A 16 year old Swedish girl on the autism spectrum can inspire more people and turn out bigger crowds all around the world than our president. It's because she speaks the TRUTH and cares nothing for her own EGO.
