When I strolled over the Bundesplatz on Tuesday, September 22, 2020, I was fascinated by the large infrastructure that had been erected in no time at all. There were tents everywhere, a huge stage, compost toilets, a recreation tepee, and a community kitchen. I felt impressed by the number of people that have gathered and the elevated and fierce atmosphere. People were moving, dancing, shouting, and chanting. Some had instruments, others used their voices or were swinging banners, signs, and flags. It seemed to me that despite the ongoing COVID pandemic, the youth, responsibly wearing masks, was filled with political energy and a commitment to do something about the climate crisis
