Climate strike: Thousands of students and workers walk out in Bay Area
Thousands of people across the Bay Area took to the streets Friday as part of a global “climate strike” to urge political leaders to do more to address climate change.
The demonstrations were led by students but included adult workers.
In San Francisco, a crowd estimated at roughly 8,000 people met at the federal building on Seventh Street, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein have their offices, and prepared to march 1.1 miles down Market Street, past the offices of Bank of America and PG&E before ending at Embarcadero Plaza near the Ferry Building.
Chanting and banging drums, the crowd, largely made up of young people, held signs saying “Grown-ups do something,” “There is no Planet B” and “Governor Newsom stand up to big oil.”
