I think you're kinda misinterpretting it though. It's a not a "strike" in the true sense of the word. I helped organize these events for a while after that first major global climate strike a few years ago. The main thing we realized that came out of it is bringing together many different orgs. And especially to get people who are otherwise allies but not really involved in organizing to actually start organizing.

Maybe if we do this enough we'll eventually have something organized enough to have a true strike, but until then I think events like these are quite necessary
