The
diversity of individuals that requested an application is impressive. They have ages ranging from 9-74, are
originating from nearly every state in the United States, with backgrounds ranging from students, to farmers, to activists, to professors, to retirees and everything in
between.
"Today is a landmark day
for the Climate March," said Ed
Fallon, March founder and director. "It's the culmination of months of hard work, of
laying a solid foundation for what we believe will be a pivotal moment in the
battle to mobilize America to address the climate crisis."
"Given the early interest, we are confident there are well over 1,000
people ready to make the commitment to march across America for this cause," continued
Fallon. "We now enter an important new phase, where we build a march community
of 1,000 climate patriots."
The release of the marcher application and promotional video is a
huge milestone for the Great March for Climate Action. It
signifies a time for public engagement, an invitation for others to get on
board by stepping forward for our planet and our future.
