November 29, 2015 – Paris to Le Bourget What lousy timing! I went to bed last night with the onset of a sinus infection. My night’s sleep was dismal, and the transport of mucus through my nose comparable to the volume of oil Kelcy Warren hopes to move through Continue reading →

Here’s a beautiful short documentary summarizing the 2021 Walk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y3HkfXCYhDfjWdWY3LczV9tDjwf9MCs8/view?ts=611ad075 In 2013, a multi-generational group of climate activists walked from Camp David, Maryland, to Washington, DC. Their goal: to tell President Obama and other policy makers that we must keep the majority of fossil fuels in the ground. In 2021, elders and youth once again walked to demand climate action from President Biden. Biden has promised bold actions, yet his proposals are still inadequate to address the climate emergency.
