New York City is set to host what could be the largest climate change protest in history.

Organizers expect more than 100,000 people to converge for a People's Climate March on Sunday.

Some 2,000 solidarity events are scheduled around the world this weekend ahead of Tuesday’s United Nations climate summit.

We spend the hour with four participants representing the labor, indigenous, faith and climate justice communities:

• Rev. Dr. Serene Jones is the president of Union Theological Seminary, which recently voted to divest from fossil fuels;
  
  
• Lidy Nacpil is a member of the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice;
  
  
• Clayton Thomas-Muller is co-director of the Indigenous Tar Sands Campaign in Canada and a member of the Idle No More campaign;
  
  
• and Estela Vázquez is executive vice president of 1199 SEIU, which is expected to bring thousands of union members to the march.

3. I cannot make it, but to those of you that do, please spread the word among the participants

and maybe even bring signs that urge Publicly Funded Elections (PFE's)! Getting climate change legislation passed is impossible with the current Republicans in office. If we demand PFE's and achieve it, we can have Representatives not bought by the oil and coal companies. Then we can get MAJOR Climate Change legislation passed!
Be careful, have fun, AND KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!!! Thank you to those that make it there!
