October 14, 5 PM Meet at Seattle City Hall, 4th Avenue & James, March at 5:30 PM to Occidental Park, Pioneer Square
Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine will join speakers from all walks of life to speak at Occidental Park.
Gather at 5:00 PM at Seattle City Hall Plaza to make climate ribbons to send to the International Climate Conference in Paris in December. Seattle's action is part of a national day of action across the country.
March at 5:30 PM sharp to Occidental Park where we will hear Naomi Klein, other speakers and video projections of people from across the state talking about how climate change is affecting our lives, what we're doing about it, and what our hopes for the future are. We want our voices to be heard in Paris and beyond.
PSARA members can join a diverse coalition of communities of color, workers, immigrants, activists and everyday people on October 14 as we build upon last year's successful People's Climate March in New York. We want to send a message that will be heard from Seattle to Paris: Our communities are united in the fight against climate change. Climate change affects low-income and communities of color disproportionately, and a just transition away from fossil fuels means making sure that no one gets left behind, especially the communities most affected.
Please look for the PSARA banner and join us in this important action.
