The front of the march ended around 2 p.m. at the Climate Block Party on 11th Avenue where marchers gathered to celebrate the huge turnout of people who say “Now is the time for climate action.”
The march was organized by 1,572 organizations including indigenous, faith, labor, environmental justice, social justice, youth and environmental groups.
“With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history,” according to the People’s Climate March website. “We’ll take to the streets to demand the world we know is within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.”
“The People’s Climate March has given tens of thousands of passionate and dedicated allies an opportunity to let the world’s leaders know that we support setting the highest possible goals to address climate pollution, and that the United States must fully embrace and lead a worldwide effort to accelerate the 21st Century’s complete transformation to a prosperous clean energy economy,” said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club.
