A Global Climate Strike Begins: raceAhead

Students in 150 countries are taking to the streets to demand action on climate change.

Here’s your week in review, in haiku.

How old were you when
you learned that blackface is wrong,
lying is bad, and

“making promises”
that you shouldn’t makes trouble?
How old will you be

When you see your last
bird, or succumb to the kind 
of storms that now swarm

like roaches in an
ever-warming sea? How old 
will your children be

when they learn how their
parents had to hide who they
were just to survive?

Have a storm-free and righteous weekend.
