People's Climate March

The People's Climate March was the biggest climate march ever seen in history, and I was a part of it! I planned to go when my school had explained the premise of it, and although I was a little nervous, I was also super excited! Every cause has had a huge demonstration in the streets, and I was ready to march for something that is important to me: the future of our world. When I arrived, the air was buzzing with energy, and people everywhere were holding signs that ranged from a couple of scribbles made by a kid, to murals and beautifully worded posters. I headed towards central park west, where I knew the march was starting, and was surprised by the amount of people there. I knew there were many people coming from out of town, but I saw people from ALL over, California to Ithaca, New York.  This march meant a chance to stand up and do something about the way we are treating our world. It really felt like I was making a difference, which means something to a girl who is constantly told that her generation is the one that has to fix everything.

The coolest costume I remember seeing, a giant polar bear, being led through the crowd by a man handing out cardboard, hand made birds.

 One of my favorite signs.

The moment of silence.
