Less than 100 hours remain until the People’s Climate March — the biggest climate march in history.
Here’s what you need to know to join CCAN as we make history together in New York City:
1. CCAN Meet-Up: On Sunday, September 21st, marchers will assemble on Central Park West between 65th and 86th Streets. The march will be made up of contingents coming together around shared themes. CCAN will be marching with the Anti-Fracking group, within the “We Know Who Is Responsible” bloc.
Meet up with CCANers on the corner of 81st Street and Central Park West. We’ll be with the giant Stop Cove Point Pipeline! Sign up here to march with CCAN, and we’ll send you any last-minute updates on the meet-up location. For a map of the line-up, closest subway stops and more, check out the march logistics page here.
2. Flow of the Day: The march begins at 11:30 AM — but we suggest showing up early, especially if you want to be in one of the specific contingents. CCAN staff will be at the corner of 81st Street and Central Park West beginning at 8:00AM, so come early to hang out and check out our new CCAN t-shirts for sale. (Again, sign up here for updates). The march will end on 11th Avenue, where there will be beautiful art, music, and a closing ceremony for all who can stick around.
3. Transportation: There are over 400 buses and trains heading to the march. Click here to find one from your region. Buses will be dropping off at 86th Street and Central Park West. Please check in with your bus captain about departure times and locations.
4. Housing is still available: New Yorkers, despite their reputation, are very nice, and are opening their homes and churches to folks like you coming to town for the march. Click here to find housing for the People’s Climate March.
5. All weekend long amazing events are happening: The Youth Convergence will be a space for students to come together and share campaign knowledge. Divestment groups are meeting up to compare strategies. On Monday, thousands will “flood” Wall Street for a major sit-in. There’s a lot you won’t want to miss, so check out all the events here.
This isn’t a moment to miss: With the major United Nations climate summit following just two days after our march, every major news outlet across the world will be watching. And if we make this march bigger than any climate mobilization ever before, we, the people demanding bold action will be in every single one of those stories.
Join CCAN at the People’s Climate March. It’s going to be amazing.
