That was incredible.
Over 8,000 people came together in Oakland to call for a ban on fracking in California. Despite some much-needed rain, the March for Real Climate Leadership was one of the biggest climate rallies California has seen — and it was biggest action against fracking anywhere in US history.
Our movement is growing. We’ve had victory after victory in the last year — in San Benito County, Mendocino County, Carson, and dozens of other cities — and Saturday was proof that together we’ve turned all that energy into an incredible amount of momentum going forward.
Right now, the climate movement in California is stronger than ever. We’re going to end fracking in California, and we’re going to do it soon.
