The Penn State student groups Eco Action and Fossil Free PSU organized a bus to send 55 students to the People’s Climate March in Washington D.C on Saturday, April 29. The voices of Penn Staters joined a diverse chorus of protesters united in tackling climate change and promoting an economy that works for jobs and the planet. The People’s Climate Movement included over 50 organizations, from environmental organizations, to racial and economic justice groups.
“This march is particularly important because it gives the planet a voice," said Alex Curtze, a Penn State student studying environmental science. "A voice allowing people to unite and to share their story. A voice to fight corruption, resource exploitation, and the degradation of our ecosystems. A voice that has empowered me to fight for the planet.”
