As thousands of individuals make their way to New York City for the People Climate March, DC Media Group has several correspondents at the event. We will be gathering updates throughout today and posting them here as the event progresses.

The People’s Climate March is today in New York City. The march is being coordinated in response to UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon’s call to world leaders to meet on September 22 and 23 to discuss global disruptions posed by climate change. Secretary Moon will participate in the march.

The goal of the event is to assemble in one place the largest group ever concerned about environmental impacts of climate disruption. The ‘family friendly’ event will be fully permitted. Over 2000 solidarity events will also be held in 130 countries.

Peoples Climate March is expected to draw over 100,000 with participants traveling from every state, including students from over 300 campuses. They will assemble at West Central Park and walk through Times Square towards 11th Avenue starting at 11:30 am Sunday.
