On September 20, youth around the world—including Chicago activists walking from Grant Park to Federal Plaza—will strike to demand action on climate change. As an advocate for Earth, the Field Museum is excited to join them in their efforts. That day, staff, volunteers, and community members, including Chief Curiosity Correspondent Emily Graslie as a keynote speaker, will be on the front lines, supporting the youth-led movement and advocating for science and climate solutions. Strikers will gather in Grant Park, at S Columbus Dr and E Roosevelt Rd, and march to Federal Plaza, ending in a rally. Strikers and the general public are welcome to visit the Field afterward, with free general admission for Illinois residents after the strike
