Cover image: the map of the first FRIDAY FOR FUTURE all over the world. The Global Strike now is back, much more powerful and positive, constructive, unstoppable (Composit made by Guido De Simone)
Italiano“No more empty promises!” Somebody thought that people’s rebellion to cynical exploitation of natural resources and polluting human activities could be re-dimensioned or even stopped by the pandemic… Wrong hope! Here they… WE are! We are with you all, dudes! AND MARCH 19 IS CLOSE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE TO SHOUT ALL TOGETHER, POWERFULLY: “ENOUGH!!!”
by Guido De Simone
SARS-CoV-2, this microscopic and hyperactive virus, has at least open everyone’s eyes: it has provoked such a sudden unforseeable and dramatic low tide, letting us all see:
- all the dangerous “rocks” (DEFECTS) of our fake golden society,
- and all the “sharks” (ASSHOLES) that till some months ago could cunningly hide under the surface of fake abundant waters (WELLNESS) and act to exploit our naivety to become much richer and much more powerful, while we are weaker and weaker and divided.
Now they all are visible, undeniable, no longer disguised as our “benefactors and saviors”.
Negationists (Deniers) are in trouble, even the most undecided citizens all over the world are now definitely aware that we cannot continue this manner.
Therefore, it is not an hazard to forecast that next FRIDAY FOR FUTURE will be much greater than the first one.
WE ALL ARE FED UP!
Those who think that they are too powerful and smart to be stopped will soon discover that it is not suggestable to put the humankind with the back against the wall, for, as History teaches, a tough reaction is unavoidable… IT IS A SIMPLE MATTER OF SURVIVAL, dudes!
What’s IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER, everyone, is that a true change for the better needs a really constructive reaction. A destructive act would make us become like them. And that would be a nightmare!

‘No more empty promises’
Climate strikers announce date for next global climate strike
Global — In the midst of the various public health, sociopolitical, and economic crises that the world continues to face entering the new year, climate activists are gearing up for the next Global Climate Strike on March 19th to demand immediate, concrete, and ambitious action from world leaders in response to the ongoing climate crisis.
Part of what they want to highlight in the coming strike is the urgency of immediate action in the face of the weather- and climate-related disasters that have devastated various countries last year, from the wildfires that afflicted parts of Australia, North America, and Latin America, to the droughts in Africa, to the storms that devastated Central America and Southeast Asia.
“The science is crystal clear — climate change is exacerbating natural disasters by making these events stronger, more intense, more frequent, and therefore more destructive. The climate crisis is not a far-off catastrophe. Heatwaves, droughts, floods, hurricanes, landslides, deforestation, fires, loss of housing, and spread of diseases — this is what the most affected people and areas are dealing with more and more frequency today. Our lives depend on immediate action.” said João Duccini, a climate activist from Brazil.
“It’s been five years since the Paris Agreement was signed, and three years since the alarming report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was publicly released. Numerous countries all over the globe have committed to seemingly ambitious pledges about reaching ‘net-zero’ emissions. Empty promises like these can be a very dangerous phenomenon because they give the impression that sufficient action is being taken, but in fact, that is not the case as these targets are full of loopholes, creative accounting, and unscientific assumptions.” said Maya Ozbayoglu from Poland.
For over two years now, youth climate activists from around the world have been striking and taking to the streets to demand climate justice. Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions will be taking on different forms in different places, but their call for #NoMoreEmptyPromises is uniting people beyond borders under the same goal of immediate climate action.
“If we don’t act now, we won’t even have the chance to deliver on those 2030, 2050 targets that world leaders keep on talking about. What we need now are not empty promises, but annual binding carbon targets and immediate cuts in emissions in all sectors of our economy, “ said Mitzi Jonelle Tan from the Philippines.
“When your house is on fire, you don’t wait for 10, 20 years before you call the fire department; you act as soon and as much as you possibly can,” said Greta Thunberg from Sweden.
Who is interested to participate and show to world leaders what the Peoples of the wotld REALLY want (intead of keeping pretending that they know and continue to put us all at risk), simply get in contact with your local FRIDAY FOR FUTURE event or, if nobody did it yet, organize yours by yourself with the help of your closest FFF branch:

LAST TIME
Last Friday For Future, more than 5 millions people, mostly young but not only, gathered to show to the World that it is time to react and call the responsables to be really “responsable”, to call the rest of the world to wake up and realize that keeping silent is a suicide.
Here it is, in images, what happened…
Rome, Italy
WHAT’S NEXT FUTURE?! Come and build it up!
NOTE for “those who think they can rule everyone and everything”: you think you can keep this too under control, right? … Wrong. You’ll see it.
Don’t worry you all, other normal readers 😉. Who had to understand this message, understood.
