Over two hundred community members gathered outside of Kingston’s Courthouse for the Global Climate Strike. Kingston joined over 1,200 communities participating worldwide in the climate action demonstration on September 25. He added that the diversity of the crowd outside of the courthouse continues to demonstrate that climate change is a top priority issue. “I think the diversity of the crowd and the size of the crowd reflects the fact that over 70% of voters in the last election here in this riding voted for parties that promised climate action,” Milloy said. “I think that shows the community in all walks of life wants climate justice and we expect climate justice in the forthcoming parliament.”Milloy encourages people to engage in conversations around climate justice to keep it at the forefront, which organizer and master’s student Emily Cervenka echoed.
