On Saturday, thousands of Americans called on their leaders to act immediately to stop global warming. In all 50 states, at more than 1400 iconic places across the nation, people united around a common call to action: "Step It Up Congress: Cut Carbon 80% by 2050."
Organizers estimated a crowd of 1,200 in Battery Park. There were more than 1,400 actions across the country. One reason organizers did not call for a single mass march was to prevent those attending from generating more carbon emissions.
I didn’t see or hear about anything in Park Slope, which surprises me. No doubt there were events I didn’t know about. Please write in and let me know what you did for "Step It Up Congress!"
Go here for a list of coverage of the event all over the US.
