Hundreds of students across more than 50 California high schools are planning to participate in walkouts on Oct. 24 to voice support for legislation that would hold oil companies accountable for damage to infrastructure and costs associated with the climate crisis, The Hechinger Report reported.
Since 2024, Vermont and New York have adopted similar laws to the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act now on the table in California.
“Youth are now seeing that the ones responsible for this are the ones that are profiting billions of dollars off of climate change,” Diego Sandoval, a student at Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, told the news outlet.
In California, students have already missed 54,000 hours of school time this year alone as a result of climate-related disasters, according to an analysis by UndauntedK12, The Hechinger Report reported. And the Los Angeles Unified School District has had to set aside $2.2 billion for repairs in the wake of the Palisades fire.
“When I dedicate time to doing this, I know it’s more impactful than, say, my math homework,” Sandoval said. “We’re really seeing youth advocate for something that should be so common sense, yet we’re seeing incredible opposition on the other side.”
