Global Climate March DC 1
Washington DC, the afternoon of Sunday November 29, 2015. Around 1,000 activists and supporters affiliated with 350, AVAAZ and other climate justice groups gathered in front of the White House for a rally and march to influence the policy direction of the world climate talks commencing in Paris the next day. The DC event was one of many taking place all over the world this weekend. In Paris, climate justice activists were placed under house arrest and long planned demonstrations were banned, ostensibly due to security concerns in the wake the the tragic ISIS terrorist attacks of Friday, November 13. Some very brave French activists marched on the streets of Paris in defiance of the ban and were subjected to chemical weapon attack by militarized police.
