1) Prominent protesters from Standing Rock participated in a “People’s Climate March”
in Washington D.C. Many of the protesters who were petitioning the United Nations
over the past few days in New York City travelled to Washington D.C. in order to
participate in the event. The protest is response to Trump’s 100th day in office and
his “anti-climate” policies. Other Climate March protests are taking place at major
metropolitan areas across the nation; places like Portland, Seattle, Chicago,
Houston, Albuquerque, and many more.
