Greta Thunberg to join youth climate strike in Bristol
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is coming to the UK on Friday to take part in a youth protest in Bristol.
The 17-year-old will be joining the Bristol Youth Strike 4 Climate on College Green on February 28.
One of the organisers, Milly Sibson, also 17, from Bristol, told the PA news agency: “We are all just so excited — everyone is so excited about the thought of hearing her talk.
Heading for the UK! This Friday, the 28th, I’m looking forward to joining the school strike in Bristol! We meet up at College Green 11am! See you there! @bristolYS4C pic.twitter.com/n1GOJqMUVQ

“I would love the chance to meet her because she is the founder of this movement and she is so important to it — she is an idol even though she is younger than me.
“We really hope loads of people join us to welcome her to Bristol.”
Milly said Greta had originally planned to visit London, but as the area planned for the protest in the capital was too small the organisers had recommended Bristol instead.
We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
