ASHLAND, Ore. -- Hundreds of Ashland High School students walked out of class and down to the plaza for a climate change rally.

Students called for their local elected officials to take action against the growing climate crisis -- and the youth-led Rogue Climate Action Team announced its Ashland Youth for Electrification Campaign.

As young people, students say the rally was an opportunity to come together as a generation and call for change on both a local and global level.

The Rogue Climate Action Team and AHS students plan to bring their concerns directly to their local government at the Ashland City Council meeting on March 21.
