October 10, 2019, the Palisades Student Task Force chapter continued their urgent activism against climate change with their second lunchtime awareness-raising event. The activity was centered in the main Pali quad and featured:
- AP Environmental Science teacher Mr. Englemann, who answered burning climate change questions;
- An STF exhibition tent filled with powerful posters with passionate visuals and heart wrenching statistics, plus youth supported climate change legislation;
- A voter pre-registration and registration booth to emphasize our human right to take part in our government;
- Pledge boards inviting students to personally make promises to combat climate change.
This was a powerful experience for these STF environmental advocates and they look forward to continuing events like this throughout the coming year to speak up for their human rights to a future.
Mr. Englemann responds to questions about climate change.
Informational posters show before-and-after climate change.
Students learn about environmental legislation reviewed by Congressman Ted Lieu’s Youth Council, and exercise their right to pre-register to vote.
Empty plastic water bottles hang on the STF tent to demonstrate that many Pali students do not yet take advantage of the school’s refill stations.
