Mr. President, the country I “come from,” & the country we all swear to, is the United States.
But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet.
Mr. President,
As Members of Congress, the only country we swear an oath to is the United States.
Which is why we are fighting to protect it from the worst, most corrupt and inept president we have ever seen.
If most schools in wealthy nations exchanged a few local fundraisers for global ones, this number would come down...
... and compassion for ALL of humanity would grow.

People may not like to hear it, but animal agriculture fuels the climate crisis about as much as all transportation on Earth.

Have our students learned about the climate crisis?
Do they know that they are safe to participate in a #ClimateStrike?
Do they understand the powerful impacts of youth activism?

If wealthy nations met their development aid promise of 0.7% Gross National Income, this nightmarish shit wouldn’t be happening.
❌The average guess from citizens is about 15%
✔️ The *actual* average is 0.31%
What does your nation give?

If the global climate crisis feels controversial to teach, it’s because denialists & opportunists used immense wealth and influence to entrench that status quo.
They have tried to sideline teachers and facts.
Will we fight back?

Some are criticizing our students for climate activism.
They say that young people cannot make a difference.
❌They’re wrong❌
Politicians can decrease emissions.
Adult polling & voting can change the politicians.
And youth can influence the adults.
#TeachSDGs
If you can’t find #climatechange in your curriculum, look to:
1) School mission/vision statements about citizenship.
2) The all-nation @GlobalGoalsUN that supersede your superintendent.
3) Your own rebellious and moral nature.

We must not act like this is any other #EarthDay.
@GretaThunberg is leading a young army of millions.
How many students have been inspired by educators who taught #climatechange & @TheGlobalGoals with hope and ferocity?
How many more will rise up?
How can we help them?
Without a 50% global reduction in greenhouse gasses by 2030, ice-trapped methane will release at an accelerating & unstoppable rate. ⏳

If you know someone who thinks like the bigger fish, know that you may have the power to change their thinking.
Time is running out.

What if *every* social studies curriculum required some consideration of current world issues?
What if every math teacher used global stats and graphs from time to time?
What if every science teacher linked their lessons to climate change?

Climate change deniers and incrementalists are most likely to listen to ____________.
a) Politicians
b) Scientists
c) Journalists
d) Their Own Children
When we #TeachSDGs, students will have a lot more to say at the dinner table.
If, in response to adults nearly destroying the world, young people are somehow still willing to clean up the mess, our only response should be “thank you.”
My open letter to @GretaThunberg and teachers everywhere.
