After the parliament in the afternoon from 12:00am we set off to join other people/strikers at Muyenga and we started our climate strike that had a common voice "Declare Climate Emergency Now" and other demands written in art on placards. The strike gathered participation over 60 students from primary, high schools and I mobilized a team of youth from my university (Kampala International University) too. 

What I do;
A part from coordinating climate strikes, I speak to others about the Fridays For Future movement's youth space to participate in Climate Action, how they can join us and the relevance of Climate Strikes in amplifying youth voices.
I am a green campaigner at Green Climate Campaign Africa, I plant trees as I visit schools and universities to share with them the KEEP MAMA AFRICA GREEN message. I have founded a digital platform www.climatewatchseries.blogspot.com to create more awareness on climate change, and also use social media platforms. 
 

Climate Strike Goals   

• We are working towards growing a bigger climate striker force that can turn into a big voice, the movement is therefore modeled to youth and young people space for participation as well as join the Fridays For Future network.    
• To have government recognize Uganda Students and Youth's Climate Demands. 
• We want to empower and educate communities about human induced climate change and also turn our activities into solution that can empower, transform people and societies to sustainable.
• As we grow in numbers we shall continue to advance our voices towards demanding urgent Climate Action, we want to show an example to others like Greta Thunberg did, that a bright green future lies in the hands of young people and the actions they take from now. 
• It is our goal to rally other youth in the whole country to strike for climate, we want a national student’s climate strike. Also other African countries must emulate the climate strikes as a non-violent way to demand for climate action.  

Thank you very much.
