Dear Guardian,

The first Peoples Climate March paved the way for the Paris climate deal. The upcoming march will be responsible for defending it.

On April 29, 100 days after Trump’s inauguration, workers, students, environmental groups, mothers, frontline communities, and climate scientists will converge at the National Mall in Washington DC and across the USA.

As the fracking onslaught threatens to tighten its grip in the American West, including here in New Mexico, the time to defend environmental justice is now.

We’re taking to the streets to show we won’t take current climate politics lying down. Over 800 organizations have endorsed the march, from the NAACP to the nation’s largest labor unions.

There are more than 250 sister marches across the country. WildEarth Guardians is proud to be a part of them.

If you can’t make it to D.C., join us in New Mexico:

What: ABQ People's Climate March: "Standing Rock, Chaco & Our Backyard"

Where: Washington Middle School Park, 1101 Park Ave SW, Abq NM 87102. Map here.

When: 10:30am Saturday April 29, 2017

RSVP here.

With enough people in the streets, every politician will understand where the center of gravity lies. Science, truth, and justice are all on the line—let’s defend them with everything we’ve got.

For our future,
