Bus To Leave From City For People's Climate March

Buses from throughout the state will be bringing residents to the People's Climate March in Washington DC this Saturday.

The Middletown Bus will be leaving from Wesleyan at 2AM, and is scheduled to return around midnight.

More information.

Marchers are making anodyne, non-partisan demands:

On the 100th Day of the Trump Administration, we will be in the streets of Washington D.C. to show the world and our leaders that we will resist attacks on our people, our communities and our planet. 

We will come together from across the United States to strengthen our movement. We will demonstrate our power and resistance at the gates of the White House. We will bring our solutions to the climate crisis and the problems that affect our communities to our leaders in Congress to demand action. 

We invite you to join the Peoples Climate Movement on Saturday, April 29th as we march to:

• Advance solutions to the climate crisis [that are] rooted in racial, social and economic justice and committed to protecting front-line communities and workers.

• Protect our right to clean air, water, land, healthy communities and a world at peace.

• Immediately stop attacks on immigrants, communities of color, indigenous and tribal people and lands and workers.

• Ensure public funds and investments create good paying jobs that provide a family-sustaining wage and benefits and preserve workers’ rights, including the right to unionize.

• Fund investments in our communities, people and environment to transition to a new clean and renewable energy economy that works for all.

• Protect our basic rights to a free press, protest and free speech.

March with us on April 29th as we come together to resist and march for our families, our communities and our planet.
