Youth 350 Bay Area activists commonly replicate Greta Thunberg’s “global climate strike” by skipping school to protest inaction by legislators to end carbon emissions. Some students have received excused absences from their schools while others have been threatened with failing classes for the strike. The demonstrations have included small groups going to the offices of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 3
