As the school strike movement was gaining traction around the globe, a small group of teenagers who recognized the need for climate action in Houston, Texas came together to plan a climate strike in September of 2019. These youth had grown up in a city dramatically affected by climate change, whether it be through extreme drought, harmful air pollution, or frequent flooding. Together they channeled these experiences into action, and joined millions of others around the globe on September 20, 2019, to strike at Houston City Hall. It was the largest day of global climate action in history, and over 1,200 people from all over the city came together to call for climate action in Houston. The strike took place the day after Tropical Storm Imelda hit Houston, and it was with a renewed sense of urgency that this group of youth came together in the wake of the strike and began planning for more long term action. This initial group of a dozen students quickly turned into a team of over 80 high school and college students located around the Greater Houston Area. Since our formation, we have officially become a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated into March On, and have continued to organize and advocate for climate action at a local, state, and national level.
