Emily Minotti-Watson courageously stepped forward and brought the "School strike for Climate" to Shepparton in northern Victoria, Australia.

Her decision to initiate the event prompted almost immediate support from a tight-knit group of people who, working with Emily, quickly pulled together all the behind-the-scenes work such an undertaking demands.

More than 200 people gathered in Shepparton's Maude St Mall to hear several talk about the climate crisis and call upon governments at all levels to declare a climate crisis.
