From Morning Report, 8:27 am on 9 April 2021

School students across Aotearoa will march for climate action today, leaving school to demand a better future for young New Zealanders.

This is the first School Strike 4 Climate protest since Covid-19 hit.

Last time they rallied in 2019, more than 170,000 people took to the streets in one of the largest protests in our history.

Christina Sieverhargen is part of the team organising the Auckland protest, Seren Lewis is preparing for the protest in Wellington and Lucy Grey is one of the organisers in Christchurch.
