The Johannesburg #climatestrikes are powerful.

Unions, social justice, climate justice, migrant justice, gender justice and environmental justice groups standing together.

And together we are powerful. The fossil fuel industry better beware.

A just transition is on its way! pic.twitter.com/uv1LF2OLYG
