  • The final Aachen demonstration is part of a nationwide Fridays for Future protest day, with actions planned in around 70 cities.

  • Eight people are currently active; in six months, only two or three are expected to remain.

  • In 2019, around 40,000 people from 17 countries came to a climate demonstration in Aachen, according to the organizers.

  • Many students who protested in 2019 have since graduated or moved away, and not enough new members joined.
  • It is of course very sad, because Fridays for Future is much more than just demonstrations. We are a strong community. Many friendships have formed, and we have learned a great deal during this time. It is simply an era coming to an end. But at the same time, we are of course very proud of everything we have achieved over the past few years.
    — Zini, an organizer with Fridays for Future Aachen, reflecting on the local group’s dissolution.
