USyd students protest government inaction on climate
“What we are seeing now is a glimpse of the rest of our lives if we do not act.
May 21, 2021
University of Sydney students joined thousands of Sydneysiders at Town Hall today as part of a major School Strike 4 Climate protest.
The protest demanded no new coal and gas projects, a just transition to climate jobs, 100% publicly owned renewable energy and Indigenous-led land management.
This strike follows the “historic” SRC Student General Meeting organised by the USyd Enviro Collective in April. The University waived academic penalties for students attending the global climate strike.
