10 of the best signs from the People’s Climate March

Early Saturday afternoon on the National Mall, as the temperature approached 90 degrees, thousands began marching from the Capitol to the White House. When they got there, they surrounded President Donald Trump’s residence and sat down for 100 seconds to protest his first 100 days of office — and his administration’s brutal environmental policy so far.

Along the way, they passed the Trump International Hotel DC, shouting, "We will not go away. Welcome to your 100th day."

Compared with last weekend’s March for Science, Saturday’s “People’s Climate March” was more explicitly anti-Trump, more intersectional, and more social justice oriented. Organizers said more than 150,000 people were in attendance.

“It’s not just an enviro event,“ Paul Getsos, the national coordinator for the People’s Climate March, says. “We have 43 labor union buses, we have indigenous [groups], we’ve been organizing communities of color, we have a big faith and youth contingent. … We are part of a larger resistance.”

Here is an amazing shot of the crowd, and some of the best signs we saw.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
