Are your protest signs and marching shoes ready? The People’s Climate March is happening on April 29! There will be rallies, marches, and actions around the world. Do you know where to find your local meet-up or how to join the peace and justice contingent converging in D.C.?
Peace organizers everywhere should participate in the PCM and be loud and visible, to expose the connections between militarism and climate change, which cannot be ignored. Gather with peace activists around the country, on the 100th day of Donald Trump’s increasingly dangerous presidency, to reinforce these truths:
- We cannot effectively address climate change without ending war and militarism
- We cannot end war without ending the fossil fuel energy system that breeds both the climate crisis and war
- The threat, use, and stockpiling of nuclear weapons endangers our lives and puts the future of our planet in peril
Please take a look at the resources we’ve collected below and share them with your networks to plug people in and keep them informed.
See you in the streets!

Save the Date for the Women’s March to Ban the Bomb
Throughout June and July of 2017, governments will negotiate the ban on nuclear weapons at the United Nations. WILPF and our coalition are hitting the streets to celebrate and also demand a good treaty that prohibits these weapons of mass destruction once and for all!
The Women’s March Ban the Bomb is a women-led initiative building on the momentum of movements at the forefront of the resistance, including the Women’s March on Washington. It will bring together people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, races, abilities, nationalities, cultures, faiths, political affiliations and backgrounds to march and rally at 12 PM -4PM Saturday, June 17th 2017 in New York City!
