We'll share the stories from many marchers' perspectives March 2 & 3 online.
We began in the poor port of Wilmington in LA county a cross-country trek knowing we had much communication work to do to alert Americans to the climate crisis. We woke at 4 am. Bused to the park. Participated in an indigenous blessing with a huge community drum and relating in all 4 directions. 2,000 nurses joined us 5 hours later for a rally that pumped us all up for the 3,500 mile walk before us in the coming 8 months.. A mile and a half later all but about 40 of us veered off for a climate street festival. We walked the streets through a deluge of flooded curbs, hypothermic, exhausted from a 15-mile-first-day-of-8-months march. That was Day 1. At the finish 150 of us were arrested at the headquarters of the Federal Energy Regulation Commission. What happened from West coast to East coast along the way are the tales we'll tell.
