Durango will participate in the Peoples Climate Movement and hold a march simultaneously with the march in Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m. Saturday from the railroad depot to Buckley Park. The movement began on the eve of the United Nations Climate Summit in September 2014 when 400,000 people marched through the streets of New York City to demand climate action.
Some of the movement’s core principles are:
Prioritize leadership of frontline communities, communities of color, low-income communities, workers and others impacted by climate, economic and racial inequity.Work in a way that helps to strengthen and build the capacity of local organizing efforts.Build a coordinated but decentralized structure that lifts up a common platform and message, while being flexible enough to connect with local issues, ownership and engagement in the movement.Develop opportunities for a range of organizations and social movements to give greater visibility to a common struggle.
