Thousands of students around the world skipped school Friday to protest for action on climate change. These protests were initiated by young people, like 12-year-old activist Haven Coleman and 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to combat global warming. The Advocate spoke to lesbian, gay, and nonbinary youth at the Los Angeles protest in front of City Hall.
