ABOUT FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE TORONTO
MISSION STATEMENT
Fridays for Future Toronto is the local chapter of the Fridays for Future global climate strike movement. We are a youth-led, grassroots organization with the primary mission of mobilizing to demand climate justice through the organization of school strikes, rallies, and marches. Fridays for Future Toronto recognizes that the climate crisis is not only an environmental crisis but a social justice crisis too. We have adopted a number of intersectional demands that aim to create a space for youth to advocate for a better world that uplifts marginalized voices, follows the principles of climate justice and empowers youth to demand a future that is sustainable and just for all!
