Fight for our Future at the "Unite for Climate" March on Saturday, May 3rd at 11 a.m. at Waterfront Park, San Diego, CA. Thousands of San Diegans will rally together, march in unity, and enjoy live music, organization booths, inspiring speakers, face painting and more! From scorching wildfires to devastating floods, climate disasters are no longer distant threats—they are happening here and now. The Trump administration has launched an all-out assault on climate action, rolling back decades of environmental protections, firing federal workers who stand for climate science, and shamelessly calling the climate crisis a “hoax.” We march for clean air and water, for the protection of our homes, for a just economy with good-paying green jobs, and for a world that puts people before polluters.
