Climate strike demands UNM to call state of climate emergency
Amanda Britt and Liz Pritchard | December 7Students, staff and members of the University of New Mexico community called for the University to declare a state of climate emergency Friday afternoon. University President Garnett Stokes was not in attendance to hear that message. The climate strike included a march from Johnson Field to the outside Stokes' office in Scholes Hall. UNM LEAF — a climate group — and Fight For our Lives led the march in order to present Stokes with a letter demanding a regenerative campus, investing in education on climate change action and the elimination of UNM’s investment in the fossil fuel industry.
