On April 25, a group of us attended the Climate Rally on the National Mall. The rally celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and urged Congress to enact climate and clean energy legislation in 2010. Guest speakers at the event included James Cameron and Reverend Jesse Jackson, and the musical lineup featured Sting, The Roots, Aretha Franklin, and more.
In class, we had learned about climate change policy in an academic capacity, so it was fascinating to see the advocacy aspect come to life. I heard that over 150,000 people showed up throughout the day! Check out the pictures below.
