We marched, we chanted, we stood up for Climate Justice – and we won’t stop there!
On Saturday, 1,200 San Diegans joined the Unite for Climate march and stood up to Trump’s attacks on our climate and our democracy. We got inspired hearing from Indigenous, community and youth leaders, we learned from the dozens of partner organizations that came out to table, and we took to the streets with a powerful call for a healthy, sustainable, just future for everyone.
Check out the news coverage on CBS Channel 8 and in the Union Tribune (including their photos) and our photos from the event. Also, check out this video and drone footage of the march.
Marching with us is a huge first step, but it doesn’t stop there. Trump continues to assault critical climate programs and environmental protections, as well as our diverse community and the constitution.
There is so much at stake, which is why each of us must step up and use our voices and our collective political power to keep putting pressure on San Diego and California to stand up to these attacks and to lead the charge in making real progress that improves our lives.
Are you with us? Then read on for ways you can take concrete actions and engage with SanDiego350 and the dozens of partner organizations that came together Saturday.
- Make Polluters Pay – The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund bill (SB 684 and AB 1243) will hold fossil fuel companies financially accountable for the environmental damage caused by their emissions. Take action: 1) Sign this petition, and 2) call your representatives, to help pass the bill. Next, sign up to join our advocacy network to be informed of other actions you can take.
- Volunteer with us on one of our 10+ volunteer teams and attend our Volunteer Orientation Chat on May 12th over Zoom or on May 17th in-person.
