Things Are Changing

I attended the People’s Climate March on September 21 in New York City (USA) and helped to bring seven busloads of young people of the global majority, and their allies, there. I could not walk a block without seeing another Co-Counselor!

There were also twenty-six hundred other marches and actions that weekend in 162 countries all over the world. Things are changing. More and more, every day, people are joining the concerned, and acting.

From what I know, many U.S. local papers did an amazing job of covering the events. It was certainly true in Boston (Massachusetts, USA). Some people talked about how the television stations did not cover them. But I don’t think that they ever cover activism.

I realized in a Co-Counseling session that every single person who was at any of the marches made some kind of uncomfortable effort to get out of his or her usual life and get to someplace where he or she could join other humans and care all together with them as a group. It was not an easy trip for my crew and me, but that was part of the beauty of it. I’ve been crying for the past bunch of days about what we did, and wanting to go back again and again. I would love to hear others’ stories.

In unity,
