GUILFORD — To the children of this Earth,
Act as if your lives depend on it, because they do.

Act as if the glaciers are melting, because they are.
This Friday, Sept. 20, we will be striking from school, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Pliny Park in Brattleboro.

Because if you don't, then no one will.
