Youth Sit-In at COP15!
Since 5pm, a group of approximately 20 youth from across the globe started a sit-in inside of the Bella Center outside of the Plenary and continue to stay put. They are reading the names of 12 million people who want a fair and just climate treaty as well as transparency in the process. Among them, my friend Lisa Curtis.
Sen. John Kerry passed by and greeted the youth sitting-in as well as other delegates.
Please help spread the word. Let the whole world know we want real long-term solutions!

UPDATE:
UN security told youth that if they do not leave now, then they will be arrested and civil society will not be allowed to come into the building Thursday or Friday. Group has agreed to walk out to allow the few civil society has been guaranteed for Thursday and Friday.
Statement will be delivered outside.
