Working families, many of whom live in or near major cities, disproportionately experience the toll of environmental injustices everyday—high pollution levels and increased exposure to environmental hazards at home and at work are a reality for too many. As a an educator, I know firsthand the impact that a healthy environment has on working people’s’ ability to learn and thrive.
Healthy, vibrant communities and economies cannot survive without clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. We must make that message clear and join the People’s Climate March to make sure the 100th day of the Trump administration is met by the same force of protest that have marred his first 50. From day one of Trump’s presidency, working people have taken action with inspiring acts of resistance and together, we will continue. As you’ve seen in countless news reports, there are few things more uplifting than when working people come together and raise our voices for the world we want to see.

From the Fight For $15 to Black Lives Matter and Women’s March on Washington, D.C., working people are united in speaking out against the system that is clearly rigged against us. Now we must come together to demand that future generations have a healthy and safe environment in which to live and prosper. Join our growing resistance: on April 29, the 100th day of Trump’s presidency, lift your voice in the People’s Climate March near you.
The climate action movement is growing and getting stronger every day because working people around the nation joined the call demanding that we find solutions that will protect our communities for generations to come. Join the movement.
