Washington DC & the People's Climate March!!

 So a few weeks ago Mirabella Bear and I headed down to Washington DC with a group of like-minded folks who want to change the world for the better. So began the day of the People's Climate March! I'd been working on organizing a group to go to this large demonstration for a while and this was one of the igniting elements of our group: "Ready for 100" from the Sierra Club. Our group is dedicated to campaigning for Philadelphia to become 100% renewably powered. Bella became our mascot for the day.

An aeroplane that welcomed us in Washington DC

Time for a snack!
 
Friends we made on the bus, well Bella did :-)

The Capitol building

 Bella liking the Capital building


Cheeky grin :-)




 Masses of people, there were more people there than at the Inauguration! (but it depends who you believe)


Melting globe ice cream

 Many impressive neoclassical buildings

So many important messages



Bella doing her part to hold the sign!

Back on the bus

 Well done Mira, first interstate demonstration complete

I hope everyone is doing well in this crazy international climate :-) Stay true!

Much love from Nick, Lily and Bella
