Red hand prints are covering the pavement and the front of Hogan’s office. Around 20 kids and students are currently in his office writing him letters about their climate concerns.The police have been in attendance and asked protestors to remove themselves from the road. They said that if protestors remain on the road they would be back with more staff.
One local parent with two children, Ivy Young, was there to point out that politicians need to listen to the experts on climate change and take action.

‘I’m here today because I care. I see the urgency to act. I’m worried for the future.
