Environmental activists took to the streets of major world cities Friday to participate in a global climate strike urging policymakers to pass legislation to save the planet from climate change.
Protests took place around the world, including in Stockholm, Montreal, and Washington, D.C., where the protests interrupted traffic on Monday.
In D.C., a man who went viral for twerking during Monday’s protests re-emerged in front of the Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue for an encore performance.

In Montreal, protesters have likened 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg to Joan of Arc, a French heroine from the Hundred Years’ War who was canonized as a Catholic saint in 1920.
