IOWA CITY, Iowa - Hundreds of people gathered in Iowa City on Friday to watch teenage activist Greta Thunberg speak at a rally to demand that political leaders and institutions take urgent action to combat climate change.
“I am more than excited,” said Iowa City resident Philinise Hamlin, 41. “Change doesn’t start until we put our foot forward and try to make it happen.” “She is the face of climate change,” said Lena Kosinski, a 21-year-old student at the University of Iowa. “It’s nice to have not only a young person, but a female leading the change.”
“We are honored. We are inspired. We are emboldened. And we say, no more excuses,” Student Climate Strike Iowa City, which organized the visit, said on Twitter ahead of the event. Thunberg denounced world leaders for failing to tackle climate change and accused them of “stealing her dreams” in an impassioned speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit last month.
