2021 hunger strikes for climate
These recent protests are not the first major actions organized by Last Generation. In 2021, the group staged a hunger strike to call for better climate action from Germany’s politicians.
“We are quite simply in despair, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing this,” said protestor Lina Eichler in September 2021, according to The Guardian. “But what we’re doing here is not nearly as bad as what we can expect to befall us if we don’t act now.”
