[by Kat Haber from Homer, Alaska, written March 13] Climate change is real. Is it evidence you need? I could give you 2,500 studies done from every conceivable scientific field, as taught in the World Bank’s recent course called Turn Down the Heat, Why a 4 Degree Centigrade Warmer World Must be Avoided. I could cite a climate change (former) skeptic, Richard A. Muller, who in his 2012 New York Times op-ed, states, “it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the Continue reading →

[by Stephen Martin from Henderson, Kentucky, written March 13] As an aging, white, middle class American I felt the guilt of transgression against our future. Countless generations of humanity could not contemplate our proficiency at excess in this age. There has been minimal effort on my part to live a life sustainably, and responsibly. When The Great March for Climate Action was suggested by my children, I saw it as personal sacrifice. A way to make an offering, or amends. To walk across the North Continue reading →

[by Jerry Stewart from Aldie, Virginia, written March 10] The windmills outside Palm Springs beckoned to us this morning, their huge arms waving us onward. We spent the whole day walking with their company. The road ahead stretched into the desert. Seeing the marchers spreading out into the distance, chills ran down my spine. The sound of drumbeats from the Native American sunrise ceremony on the first morning of the march echoed in my ears. I imagined that each step I took was its own Continue reading →

[by Liz Lafferty, marcher from Canyon Lake, California] The miles didn’t scare me. Being with strangers would be ok; sleeping in a tent is survivable.  The embarrassing truth is I wasn’t sure I wanted to know what the marchers know.  Or be counted as “one of them.” Could I survive learning about the state of our planet? Could I withstand information that would rub my soul raw?  Did I have the guts to be a member of a community that celebrates being arrested? Did I Continue reading →

http://youtu.be/kWaDZv9P8x0 [by Kelsey Erickson, marcher from Carlisle, Massachusetts] Reflecting back on the first day of the march makes the enormity of the journey ahead less foreboding. Our adventure started with a sunrise ceremony at the Wilmington Waterfront Park that was led by members of several first nation tribes. They had us dancing around in a circle as the dark sky yielded to the awakening of the sun. The ceremony left me feeling energized and reminded me of the preciousness of the Earth that we are Continue reading →

[by John Jorgensen, marcher from Tucson, Arizona] Today was a “rest day” for the Great March for Climate Action. A rest day just means a day we’re not walking 15 or 17 miles, but actual “rest” is another matter! We’ve spent last night, all Friday, and will spend the night tonight at the Redlands United Church of Christ in, well, Redlands, CA. The marchers have had a busy bee-hive of activity with forming work teams as well as sorting out equipment and ourselves as a Continue reading →

We are more grateful than we can express to So Cal Climate Action 350, our California State Coordinator Ki Coulson, and the over 600 people from dozens of organizations who organized and attended a truly inspiring rally, and then marched, sang, and chanted with us on March 1 through the streets of Wilmington, Los Angeles. After hundreds of people split off for the Climate Action Fair we were down to “only” 100 marchers, and as the days have passed we are now about 50, but Continue reading →
