Thousands of people rallied on the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland, Oregon, on Friday, September 20, as part of a global strike to demand action on climate change.

According to Oregon Live, protesters rallied at Southwest Madison Street from Southwest Fourth Avenue and across both eastbound lanes of the bridge. Students from at least three different school districts skipped class in order to attend the protests, the report said.
