The People’s Climate March on Sunday, September 21 was beyond awesome - young and old, all the diverse groups from many different perspectives to put pressure on the world leaders to take action - such as anti-fracking, the military and climate, stopping fossil fuel subsidies, putting a tax on carbon, etc. On Monday, September 22, there were thousands of protestors at Flooding Wall Street shutting down traffic in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
Includes the arrival of the People's Climate Train at Penn Station, sounds of Flood Wall Street, short interviews with Media Benjamin, Chris Hedges, David Turnbull, and Thanissara, a Buddhist teacher and climate activist. Impressions of the march by long-time Brooklyn peace activists, Gary Goff and Martha Cameron, who were our gracious hosts during our stay in NYC. Many thanks to KMO of the C-Realm Podcasts for some of the interviews.

It is my hope that this largest environmental march in history in NYC will be a spark for a much bigger global climate movement that will put millions on the streets to demand action on the climate. What’s at stake is a livable planet for future generations.
