Students took part in the Global Climate Strike in San Diego, Calif., on Sept. 20, joining millions across the globe walking out of work or school to rally against climate change.
The global strike, which lasts until Sept. 27, received a special endorsement from local school officials after the San Diego Unified Board of Trustees voted unanimously to pass a Youth Climate Action resolution in support of the protest. The move provoked both support and criticism from the community.
