Kansas City’s contribution to today’s climate marches across the nation took place this afternoon on the Plaza with a march around the Plaza in the deluge of rain and a rally with a number of speakers inside Unity Temple. At noon over 200 individuals marched through the Plaza. The rally that followed inside Unity Temple started at 1:00 p.m. and ran for over two hours. Over one thousand people attended the rally.
In the rain:

The master of ceremonies for the rally:
Manny Abarca IV.
Resist so we can all exist.
There are no jobs on a dead planet.
We’re the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and last generation that can do something about it.
On labor and the Fight for $15:

Poetry on privilege:
On connections:

On faith:

I wish people cared about the earth as much as they do about who they think created it.
Our children are watching.
Yes, they are.
