They are joined by people protesting the lack of awareness and action towards climate change. ALiGN is proud of Carleton University\u2019s supportive stance of the student walkout on Friday, September 27, on Parliament Hill. Preceding the event, Carleton faculty members and students had launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/19RM2yp6spIkIAk_rR-vLLGAieMYsXpRt-coOISWF1tQ\/edit\">petition<\/a> supporting the youth climate movement and calling on \u201cscientists, scholars, and citizens\u2026to support the youth movement, to defend their right to strike, and to denounce actions that threaten or demean its participants\u201d. In the petition, they pledge their support for youth\u2019s demand for urgent action and confirm their ongoing commitment to support climate change action. The petition has received more than 170 signatures from Carleton\u2019s community members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALiGN stands in solidarity with the global community in fighting climate change.
