Activists Announce Peoples Climate March - April 29, 2017
A coalition of multiple organizations is seeking to mobilize crowds in major cities to demonstrate against President Donald Trump’s environmental policies.
(It’s the latest action following the Women’s March on Saturday, which appeared to rival the crowds that showed up for Trump’s Inauguration in Washington D.C. a day earlier.)
On Wednesday, The Sierra Club, one of the organizations that’s involved, announced it will sponsor a “People’s Climate March” on April 29, 2017 in Washington D.C. and elsewhere around the country.
April 29th falls on the Saturday before Trump’s 100th day in office (that’s April 30th), giving the march special import, organizers said.

The last People’s Climate March, in September 2014, had a turnout of more than 400,000 people in New York City, and was hailed as the largest climate march in history. That march preceded the United Nations climate summit, held just days later at the U.N. Headquarters in New York.
