Abstract

The past few years have seen a new wave of protests led by high school students. After a former student killed 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018, survivors of the mass shooting organized school walkouts as a protest against government inaction on gun control (Yee & Blinder, 2018). Inspired by these school walkouts, Swedish student Greta Thunberg started her School Strike for Climate protests on Fridays, inspiring a larger movement of school strikes and student protests. In the city where we live and work, Vancouver, Canada, the protests have been organized by a group of high school students who call themselves the Sustainabiliteens.
