Hundreds of teenagers and young children holding their parents' hands are marching through downtown San Francisco to demand action against climate change.

The group of about 1,000 is heading to Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office and chanting "Climate change is not a lie, we won't let our planet die!" The march was part of global protests mobilized by students.

Before the march, the young demonstrators held a rally outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco office to demand she co-sponsor the "Green New Deal" bill.

The bill spearheaded by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York, and Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, of Massachusetts, seeks to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.

Outside Pelosi's office, the group wrote "Love our mother earth. She gives us everything," ''The climate is changing, why aren't we?" and other messages on colorful sticky paper notes they posted on the building before they started marching.
