People's Climate March San Diego
You are invited to a pivotal moment in the history of our planet. In New York and in major cities around the world, people will be uniting on September 21 to call on world leaders meeting at the United Nations Climate Summit to act now on climate change.
Here in San Diego a growing coalition is hosting our own local march to support the New York and global events and to focus on solutions to climate change that we can implement locally. Together we will call for a rapid transition from fossil fuels to renewables and energy efficiency and a just and sustainable economy.
The People’s Climate March San Diego will gather at City Hall at 12:30 to call for a strong Climate Action Plan for San Diego, stop at America Plaza/Santa Fe Station to highlight transportation alternatives, and end at the County Administration Waterfront Park for a rally with local leaders representing different communities on developing sustainable policies and supporting green jobs and clean energy.
There will also be music, big colorful visuals, and activities. We’ll end around 3:30-4 pm. Confirmed speakers include Todd Gloria, San Diego City Council President, and Richard Barrera of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council.
The coalition of over 25 environmental, health, and labor organizations endorsing the march includes SanDiego350, Environmental Health Coalition, Sierra Club San Diego, San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council, AFL-CIO, IBEW Local 569, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and California Nurses Association/National Nurses United.
