Climate Strike Boston-march & state house occupation

Organized by Boston Climate Strike, the local chapter of Fridays for Future/Global Climate Strike (inspired by Greta Thunberg), and the Sunrise Movement, supported by organizations like Extinction Rebellion, 350.org, Sierra Club and other organizations, we marched from Copley Square to the state house. Younger marchers (middle and high school) then entered the building and sat in at Governor Charlie Baker's office calling for him and the legislature to divest from all fossil fuel industries (such as a complete switch to zero emissions and renewable energy with reformed transportation infrastructure and limited greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture). Twenty seven were arrested.
