This film documents the peaceful protest activities lead by the UK Student Climate Network in York on 20th November, 2019. This day of climate action came as part of a global general climate strike from groups across the world, in order to spread messages about climate change before the UN emergency climate summit on 23rd September, 2019. Protesters are shown walking through the streets of York holding protest banners. Some examples include 'TIME IS RUNNING OUT' and 'RENEWABLE IS 100% DOABLE'. Protesters are shown gathered in St Helen's Square in York city centre, chanting, cheering and holding up their protest placards. Some examples read 'THERE IS NO PLANET B' and 'FISH DYING, PLANETS FRYING, POLITICIANS LYING'. Drums and cymbals can be heard as live music is played by a band in the square. The protesters are shown counting down and laughing/cheering. More live music is played in St Helen's Square with the protesters gathered around. A young man is shown playing an acoustic guitar and singing the song 'Castle on the Hill' by Ed Sheeran. The crowd continue to chant whilst gathered in St Helen's Square. Two girls high-five.

The crowd applause at the end.
