Now is the time to fight harder than ever for real changes as people’s minds are remarkably open to change, skeptical of DC’s corporate-friendly DC politics, and, of course, because the science – not to mention communities devastated by fossil fuels – demand it.

A hunger strike, especially by young people, outside their offices would send an unavoidable message about what the inaction of our leaders is doing to the younger generations. If our representatives are going to choose to sacrifice the lives of young people, they should at least have to watch them dying.
