We made a message out of more than 2,000 signs people brought to our march.
Climate change is an undeniable reality. Children are at risk; It’s time for decisive action. Join us as we march for climate, jobs, and justice on April 29th.
Grassroots organizing is important for marginalized groups, who don’t have ready access to media and who do not make a strong enough voting block to be catered to by less principled politicians. Organizing also ensures that people, rather than special interests with special access, have a direct say in the policies that affect them. Especially for Native Americans, who have traditionally been marginalized in society but for whom the policies and respect that we fight for can make enormous impacts on our communities and future generations, this work is essential. That said, it’s important to note that Native Americans tend to fight for what is right and just for ALL people, not just our own interests. We know we are all related, that we all share this world, and that we all have to be responsible for the care and stewardship of not only the earth, but also for those who rely upon it for life.
Jordan Marie Daniel (young, Sioux climate activist) on the importance of grassroots organizing
For too long, Canada has been on the wrong side of climate action. Now is our chance to change that.
This is a once in a generation opportunity. If we all stand together, we can push the government towards a bold climate strategy that’s justice-based, respects the UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous peoples, aligns with climate science, and commits Canada to a 100% renewable energy economy.
Sign up. Show up. Speak up.
People’s Climate Plan
Last September, over 400,000 people marched in the streets of New York City to demand bold action on climate change. Now, as world leaders prepare for crucial climate negotiations in Paris this December, we’re bringing that momentum to communities across the country with actions demanding leaders take a stand to solve this crisis before it’s too late.
Will you join NRDC and our partners from across the movement for this amazing day of climate action on October 14th?
See you in the streets!
