Hundreds March in Santa Cruz in Advance of Paris Climate Conference

by Alex Darocy (alex [at] alexdarocy.com)
On November 22, hundreds of Santa Cruz residents joined together for the "Climate Changes Everything" rally and march to demand action at COP21, which will be held in Le Bourget, France, from November 30 to December 11. COP21 is the 21st annual "Conference of the Parties," which is a meeting of nations organized to discuss taking action regarding the climate. After assembling at Calvary Church, community members marched downtown to San Lorenzo Park, where Rick Flores greeted them by reading a welcome message from the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band.

A wide range of speakers were heard in the park, and Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane proclaimed November 22, 2015 as “Santa Cruz Climate Action Day.” The proclamation urges all residents to, "join together to achieve carbon-reduction goals in Santa Cruz and to join the Climate Action Network in urging global leaders at the Paris conference to adopt an aggressive plan to dramatically reduce carbon emissions around the world."

The Climate Changes Everything Rally was organized by the Santa Cruz Climate Action Network, and endorsed by many local groups, including 350 Santa Cruz, Citizens Climate Lobby SC, Sierra Club, Bay Area System Change not Climate Change, WILPF SC, Resource Center for Nonviolence, Pachamama South Bay Group, UC-AFT Green Caucus, and Fossil Free UCSC.
