Yesterday, thousands gathered in cities across the globe to demand action on climate change, a testament to the growing urgency and unity in tackling this existential threat. Fast forward to a year from now, and we’ll likely see this momentum translate into more structured and impactful social movements. The climate strikes of today are setting the stage for a new era of civic engagement, where activism isn’t just about showing up but about creating tangible change.

The trajectory is clear: as more people, especially the younger generation, become involved, we’ll see a shift from spontaneous protests to organized, strategic campaigns. This means more collaboration with policymakers, increased voter turnout, and perhaps even a few activists stepping into political roles themselves. The energy from the streets will find its way into boardrooms and legislative chambers, pushing for policies that prioritize sustainability and equity.

Of course, challenges will persist. There will be resistance from entrenched interests and the ever-present threat of burnout among activists. But with the rise of digital platforms, these movements have the tools to sustain momentum and adapt strategies. We’ll probably see more creative forms of engagement, like virtual rallies and innovative partnerships across sectors.

I didn’t think anything would defeat the adorable Thieves’ Guild Grandpa and Granddaughter... but Clockbank has proven me wrong.

Because up above?  Those are all people in Clockbank.  The whole town is like this.

And then there’s this guy.

Scrutinize

Oddly that’s my hobby

The lobby is a bit snobby

But we keep poisoning our bodies

the product is, scrutinize 

yourself for barcodes.
