Thousands of students and other protesters filled the streets of Center City to advocate for policy changes to help resist the present and future effects of climate change on Friday. The march in Philadelphia was a part of the second "Global Climate Strike," a series of simultaneous protests across the world. Although Philadelphia public school students were told that they would be marked absent if they attended the strike, they came out in large numbers to demonstrate, holding up a variety of signs and chanting throughout the event.
