Yesterday, about 100 souls took to the streets of the petro metro. We marched in support of the upcoming UN climate conference in NYC and to raise awareness of the need for action to dramatically reduce the amount of carbon we're putting into the atmosphere and to mitigate the effects we know are coming as the result of the carbon we've already put into the atmosphere.
The march route took us to the headquarters of major climate change contributors and at each one we stopped for a brief speech about the activities of that corporation.
Police were cordial and by the book, but wouldn't allow a large puppet, "Corporate Zombie", to march with us due to the pvc pipe in its internal structure.
KPFT, a Pacifica radio station, covered the march with a live interview and Newsfix 39 ran a brief segment last night and has a post up on their web page-
Popular chants were -
"Change the system not the climate", and
"The sea is rising and so are we".
Rise with us next time, won't you?
