As the Global Climate Strike kicks off worldwide, people are walking out of schools, workplaces, and homes to join the fight for climate action. The strike is taking place from September 20 to 27 around the globe and Canada's strikes are happening on Friday, September 27 and tons of creative Global Climate Strike sign ideas have already emerged.
If you want to join the march but you're stumped when it comes to crafting up your sign, we've got you. You've already got enough to stress about, let's not add a witty slogan to the mix. We've rounded up some of the most unique and hard-hitting sign ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
The history-making march will be taking place in 150 countries over the seven-day period and Canada's streets will be exploding with activists fighting for change. Though not all of Canada's schools have agreed to cancel classes, over 100 schools in Vancouver will close their doors in support of the strike.
If you're fired up to fight for your planet and you're looking to make a memorable sign for the occasion, these ideas will give you the inspiration you need.
