CHEVY CHASE, MD – The Audubon Naturalist Society will proudly join and mobilize people living in the DC area to show support for the Global Youth Climate Strike.

On September 20, ANS  staff, members and volunteers will gather at the Judiciary Square metro stop near the Building Museum at 10:30 a.m. and then march to the U.S. Capitol by 11 a.m. with signs supporting the young people leading the fight for their own future and for the future of our natural world.

“We support the youth. We respect their demands. We look forward to the policies and changes that will come from this movement,” said Eliza Cava, ANS’s Director of Conservation. “ANS has been fighting for the environment for more than 120 years. We are delighted to march side by side with young people who are clear that we need people all over the world to act now on climate change.”
