[By: Ken Snyder] Two months into our epic journey and it has been clear (from nearly day 1) that “humility” would be a dominant theme for me, as well as many others in our group.  From the micro-level, daily systems dynamics of our mobile community, to our macro-level stated mission of inspiring action to halt and reverse the progression and address the consequences of the climate crisis brings questions.

[By: Kimberly Foley; Des Moines, IA] We’ve completed the first million steps, only six million more to go. From strep throat to pneumonia, blisters to back aches, it is a learning process that we’re slowly getting better at. Our spirit walkers (marchers walking every step from LA to DC) and all those making this March possible, have gone through a lot. Steve Martin (Kentucky) is one of our older spirit walkers. He has not missed a step since starting the march in LA on March Continue reading →

[By: Marie Davis, Burlington, VT] TigerMountain Foundation, south Phoenix, Arizona The Garden of Tomorrow, is here today Jane Kendall and I took a day off the Climate March to meet Darren Chapman, the spirited visionary and founder of TigerMountain Foundation, at one of their gardens in a string of green being created along an otherwise bleak stretch of busy road in south Phoenix. We arrived a bit early to find the gate open, so we decided to take that as an invitation to go on in, have a look Continue reading →

[By: Tuck Taylor] I was a virtual marcher prior to the kick-off rally in Wilmington.  However, as a new “actual marcher,” I’d like to share a couple of impressions of my time on the road. Participating in the “organized chaos” that occurs every morning has given me a greater respect for the Army’s capability to do a similar feat with thousands of soldiers every morning in the field.  I know we will be building our capability to give logistical support for the thousands that will Continue reading →

As we approach the Arizona-New Mexico border, the Great March for Climate Action has planned five days of action to stand in solidarity with the Continue reading →
