Shield the People Climate March Austin
November 25 @ 5:28 pm
**NOTE – March starts at 1:30 pm. This is a family friendly march so please feel free to bring the kiddos!**
Why March in Austin??
Because climate change anywhere means climate change everywhere ~
To change everything ~ it takes everyone.
Shield The People invites everyone to march:

On September 21st in NYC:
————————–
World leaders are meeting at the United Nations in New York City for the Climate Summit 2014.
Thousands of people will peacefully gather and march, both in New York City and in solidarity events around the world for The People’s Climate March with 350.org.
On September 21st in AUSTIN, TX:
————————–
Shield The People, along with 350.org, BOLD Nebraska, Unify, Sierra Club, ACAN and hundreds of Austinites will unite and march for Global Climate Justice.
They will march for all those around the world who are putting their bodies on the line to stop those responsible – mining corporations; oil, coal and gas companies; pipelines and refineries; biofuels plantations; nuclear power plants; waste and biomass incinerators, and industry profiteers unconcerned with the destruction of our communities, our cultures and our ecosystems.
The demand is for Action, Not Words: take the action necessary to create a world with an economy that works for people and the planet – now. A single meeting or summit will not "solve climate change". This moment is about US – the people who are standing up in our communities, shaping a just, safe, peaceful world.
To do that, we need to act ~ together.
11:00am Gather at the Capitol grounds, on the lawn in front of the south steps
Tipi Installation ~ an homage to Shield The People’s Spiritual Camp acting as a unified symbol of resistance to the Keystone XL Pipeline. Visit with STP reps on treaties and pipeline issues.
