On September 20, students around the world will go on strike for climate justice. We are watching the birth of a new mass movement. In solidarity, the Zinn Education Project invites you to pledge to teach climate justice.

Whether you are teaching about climate change already ---- or plan to start soon  ----   please take the pledge. Help us reach our goal for this month of 500 teacher pledges.

The climate emergency threatens the farms where my students' families work and get their food... It matters that my students, who are just starting to feel the effects of climate disaster in these ways, understand their connections to people all over the world on the front lines of the crisis.
---- Bethany Hobbs
High school social studies teacher, Massachusetts

My students will be living with the consequences of climate change directly. They are living in flood-prone areas and poor neighborhoods.
---- Ann Milton
High school social studies teacher, Tampa, Florida

Environmental justice is the central civil rights issue of our time.
---- Jessica Potter-Bowers
High school teacher, North Carolina

I am really excited about taking " The Climate Crisis Trial: A Role Play on the Roots of Global Warming" and using it as a starting point for my class [right before the Sept 20th march].
---- Seth Adams
High school social studies teacher, Brooklyn, New York

The opposite of climate justice is climate apartheid... Neither of my subjects directly addresses science or climate, but the topics of ESL and History can include it indirectly.
---- Keith Barger
Middle school history and ESL teacher, Jinzhou, China

A new CBS poll found that 48% of respondents think that scientists disagree about the human role in climate change. As we know, that is not true. More than 97% of climate scientists agree that humans have a direct impact.
