Thousands of protesters turned out in Washington on April 29 to voice concern over climate change. The large-scale demonstration marked the 100th day of President Trump's first 100 days in office. The Peoples Climate March had been a chance to push for action on climate change and to oppose what activists see as an unprecedented assault on environmental protections during President Trump’s first 100 days. And the entire climate movement, which had seen the Obama era as a time of progress in combating global warming and prioritizing environmental safeguards, faced the question Karpinski had posed: What’s next? “The urgency of climate change demands that we do much more than play defense for the next few years,” Brune wrote in an email.
