today we truant, today we strike

(2019)

Demand the future.

On Friday 15 February 2019, students from schools across England took part in a school strike to protest the government’s lack of action on climate change. This proactive demand for government accountability was dismissed as ‘truanting’. 

Today we truant, today we strike is a response to that reaction: a celebration of what we stand for, and a dress rehearsal protest for future generations.

Day-long workshop to make signs and placards, followed by a march around the venue.
