Patti Smith shared a heartfelt poem to celebrate the 17th birthday of climate activist Greta Thunberg
The final lines of Smith’s poem refer to Thunberg’s climate strike, which she began in August 2018 when she refused to go to school and instead sat outside the Swedish parliamentary building with her famous “Skolstrejk för klimatet [school strike for the climate]” sign. While Thunberg eventually returned to school, her strike evolved into the #FridaysForFuture protest, which finds her returning to the Swedish parliament every Friday to demand action on the climate crisis.
Just as Smith’s poem alluded to, Thunberg spent her 17th birthday outside the Swedish parliament. On Twitter, she posted a photo of herself, holding her sign, with the caption, “School strike week 72.”
