Thousand of Minnesota students gathered Western Sculpture Park Friday morning with one goal: fight climate change.
"We do know there are a lot of representatives who stand in solidarity with us," Jama said. "Those that don't, they're going to understand that this is a movement by us marching the streets and showing up at the capitol."

Among them, Linda Neukirtcher, a school bus driver in the St. Paul School District.
"These are my kids, these are my people," Neukirtcher said as she fought back tears. "It means a lot to see these kids stand up for something like climate change."
An estimated 6,000 people reached the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol on Friday.
