[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 →

On April 22nd, ranchers, farmers, and tribal community members from along the Keystone XL pipeline route, called the Cowboy-Indian Alliance, will ride into DC and set up camp near the White House. Those at the encampment will light a fire and burn sage from April 22nd to April 26th, making a strong and powerful stand against the proposed Keystone pipeline. 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 →

[By: Sean Glenn] Today was a really nice day to march.  Today I saw lots of sunflowers!  They were absolutely beautiful.  They were buds… sometimes.  Others were not yet to that point.  I kissed lots of them.  They made me smile.  We marchers whistled, “You Are My Sunshine.”  We planted more sunflower seeds, more friends for these marvelous beings. I just can’t tell you how happy seeing these young plants made me.  I was overwhelmed with hope.  I danced and twinkled; made sure my fellow Continue reading →

[By: Mary DeCamp; Tucson, AZ] As one of our newest distance Marchers, I want to share my delight with this movement. I joined the Climate March in Glendale, AZ because that was the closest point to my home in Tucson.  My participation with the Occupy Tucson encampment went a long way in preparing me for this endeavor, and my name (Mary DeCamp) certainly fits both experiences – we camp, and then we merrily de-camp. My little dog Birdie is along for the adventure.  At first, there was a lot Continue reading →

By: Debaura James, New Mexico I joined my fellow-marchers way back in Long Beach California in late February with funds raised to march as far as Phoenix.  Little did I know how difficult it would be to leave this new family of which I would become a member! It was shocking and a bit disconcerting for some of us “older” marchers to find that so little infrastructure was in place when we arrived. There was basically a gear-truck, a box of someone’s donated kitchen odds-and-ends, and an Continue reading →

[By Brandon Cheshire, Phoenix, Arizona] I have been provided the special opportunity to join this noble group of environmental justice fighters as they continue to embrace the beautiful Arizona landscape, on their Great March for Climate Action. I had the opportunity to learn of the march while attending a Climate Reality Leadership training in Chicago this past summer.  I had been dealing with a tremendous amount of back pain and immobility due to an injury I suffered whilst installing a ground mounted solar array in Continue reading →
