Fridays For Future World Environment Day, Friday, June 5, 2020
World Environment Day is Friday, June 5, 2020
Let’s join together to create a massive world event online.
COVID: Please no gatherings and stay at home, so we can flatten the curve.
WHY FFF STRIKE NOW: Right now governments are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on COVID recovery packages and they need to hear from us that Earth Comes First!
HOW: Do something online. Host a Zoom Rally. Encourage people to tag their MPs in online posts to:
– #BuildBackBetter
– #JustRecovery
– #EarthComesFirst
The themes are only suggestions. You can make your own theme. The two themes suggested are because of what is going on. The first suggestion is probably more suitable for older teens and adults and the second suggestion for children, youth and supporters of the under 14 crowd.
#1 SUGGESTED THEME: We can’t go back to business-as-usual after the #COVID19 pandemic. That’s why we’re building a movement for a #JustRecoveryforAll that puts people first. Let’s demand a #JustRecovery so we can #BuildBackBetter
Here is the website. It launched on May 25, 2020.

#2 SUGGESTED THEME: Earth Comes First today and every day.
#EarthComesFirst
CONVERGENCE: Two Canadian youth from FFF Toronto and FFF Greater Sudbury are starring in the special YTV documentary. The theme of that documentary is Earth Comes First. Sometimes it is good to piggyback on what is already happening. Strategically, this is called convergence.
