On September 23, President Obama and
world leaders are coming to New York City for a historic UN summit on climate
change. On Sunday, we’ll take to the streets to demand the world we know is
within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet.
A world safe from the ravages of climate change. A world with good jobs, clean
air, and healthy communities for everyone.
As parents, grand-parents, teachers,
and friends, we have a historical responsibility to demand that our world
leaders respond to the threat of climate change with real solutions. The Kids,
Parents, and Teachers contingent of the march will feature activist and
musician, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary, his daughter Bethany Yarrow,
Cellist Rufus Cappadocia, and more.
This is a peaceful, permitted,
family-friendly march.
