In this short documentary of Aidan Un, we see a compilation of the People’s Climate March, which happened on President Trump’s 100th day in office, to protest his environmental policies and refusal to recognize climate change and its effects. The initiative included a water opening ceremony led by the Indigenous Environmental Network, and 150,000 people. Among those, Yuki Kidokoro, from the Climate Justice Alliance, speaks about the sacredness of water; Keema Green from ACE/REEP Right to the City, discusses the intersectionality of racial, social and environmental justice; and Elizabeth Yeampierre, from UPROSE, talks about the need for citizen and local participation to tackle climate issues. This initiative was a joint effort from Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, the Our Power Campaign and the Right To The City Alliance, among many other frontline organizations.
