WASHINGTON – On what could be a record-hot day, tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected to assemble in Washington on Saturday. Their large-scale climate change protest will mark President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, which have been punctuated by multiple rollbacks of environmental protections. The People’s Climate March, which originated with a massive demonstration in New York in September 2014, picked a symbolically striking day for its 2017 installment. The administration is grappling with a major climate policy decision: whether to remain in the Paris climate agreement. Marchers on Saturday are expected to gather at the Capitol and then move up Pennsylvania Avenue and “surround” the White House.
