On September 20th, young people and their many supporters around the world went on a Climate Strike and marched to push for real action on Climate Change. The march in Albany was longer than other marches around here have been – about 2 miles. Starting at the natural gas steam plant that provides energy for many state offices, it proceeded to several state agencies and one bank, before arriving at West Capitol Park. Here are some photos from the march.
