--Also, we will be using the hashtag #CLIMATEMARCH_SLCClimate change isn’t just about polar bears! Climate change is an issue of ethics. Climate change is about curbing the potential scientifically articulated social and ecological disaster that will ensue due to change in climate. Low- income, indigenous groups, people of color, people geographically located in the Global South---will have to carry the heaviest burdens from social and ecological disruptions. All humans, regardless of identity and geography, will be affected by the change as the result of climate change. Changes such as (but not limited to): drought, food scarcity, flooding, mass relocation of human habitat, consequential growth of diseases, etc. Further, the species of this planet are in great danger. Climate change will result in mass extinction. We have no PLANet B. We, as Earthlings, must band together for a shared vision surrounding equality, resilience, sustainability, and love. Complacency is the single greatest threat to the conservation and sustainability of our fragile planet. The single greatest threat to this planet is complacency. We, as people of this time and space, must use our voices and actions to show that we deeply care about climate justice. It is our right to live on a planet with a livable climate. It is the right of all living things to inhabit a planet with a livable climate. We must be resolute in our voices being heard to ensure that our social and political enactors create policies and projects that address climate change We, in Salt Lake City, stand in solidarity and peace with the People's Climate Change March in NYC! PLEASE BRING POSTER MATERIALS, FRIENDS, FAMILY, NEIGHBORS, PASSION, AND A WILL FOR POSITIVE TRANSFORMATION!
