The young protesters gathered in Foley Square on March 3rd before marching across the Brooklyn Bridge and rallying at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
“We think it’s so important for us to get their names, and their voices, and their stories out there,” Miglay said. “And to also get young people here today, who clearly care about the climate and are very passionate about climate justice, to learn more about Tibet. Because I’m sure once people know what the Tibet climate crisis is, they will be happy to hop on board and help our cause.”
The “last generation”—a term coined by European climate activists—wants the U.S. Government to support a request made by the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu to the United Nations. Vanuatu, threatened by rising sea levels like most Pacific island nations, called on the International Court of Justice to define what legal responsibilities countries have for the climate crisis.

The pipeline, built by French oil giant Total and China National Offshore Oil Corporation , would be the longest in the world, stretching 900 miles from Uganda to Tanzania. Activists fear the pipeline will displace communities, endanger wildlife, and bring the globe a giant step closer to a climate catastrophe.
