Meet the young Sunrise activists who marched 260 miles from Paradise to San Francisco, to ask our leaders for bold climate action.
We caught up with them at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, where local climate activists led by our partner Kevin Morrison greeted them with a fine vegan lunch and tributes.
Young activists featured in this photo set include Ema Govea, June Guthrie, Lola Guthrie, Vianni Ledesma, and many more. They came to join this two-week march from San Diego, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol and beyond.
In their talks and video interviews with me, they spoke about their fight for a more just and sustainable world. We told us why they promote a new Civilian Climate Corps, as the first step towards a Green New Deal.
I was impressed by their their passion and clear thinking, and am grateful to this “Generation on Fire” for leading the charge!

Behold the Earth Bike, a unique parade float created by artist and activist Fabrice Florin, to engage more people to go green and fight climate change. The Earth Bike features a 6-foot inflatable globe pulled by an electric bike, with signs inviting people to use clean energy, ride clean transportation, eat sustainably and take more climate actions featured on GreenChange.net.
Fabrice and the Green Change team presented this fun climate art project to thousands of people at the Fourth of July Parade in Corte Madera and Larkspur, Marin County. Throughout the parade, we sang environmental songs with our friends the Freedom Singers. We encouraged participants to take care of Mother Earth and go green in their own lives. Many people responded enthusiastically to our call to action and some walked over to pet the Earth and/or have their photos taken in front of it.
Green Change led a cohort of environmental groups at the parade, including these partners:
• Cool the Earth drove different models of electric cars
• The New Wheel rode with us and loaned some of their ebikes
• Marin County Bicycle Coalition showed their cool Alto Tunnel float
• Climate Now marched with a group of young activists
We’re grateful to all our friends, neighbors, partners and community members for joining forces with us to help more people go green. Thanks to our Green Change event crew, led by Fabrice Florin, Tom Flynn, Geo Monley and Marilyn Price, with Chris Brown, Diana Connolly, Kelly Horner and Paul Marmaro. Thanks as well to the Freedom Singers: Greg Brockbank, Deirdre Fennessy, Luisiana Gale, Angela Giacomini, Laura Giacomini, Joe Hiney, Rena Kay, Lillie Kocher, Gailya Morrison. And kudos to our partners in this environmental parade: Carleen Cullen, Robin Moller and Annika Osborn at Cool the Earth; Karen Wiener at New Wheel; Dwayne Price at the Marin Bicycle Coalition; and Sarah Goody at Climate Now.
This Earth Bike float was a great way to connect with people who were not yet engaged in climate action: through this fun outreach, we think we made an impression, raising people’s awareness about how we can help fight climate change, and getting a few of them to commit to taking action. Just as importantly, we started relationships with some great partners and team members. We look forward to collaborating on more community engagement projects with Green Change.

Enjoy this video vignette from Earth Day Marin, our popular environmental festival on April 23, 2023 in Mill Valley, California.
This video memory was shot and edited by event organizer Fabrice Florin, and reflects his personal experience of Earth Day Marin. It was created on his iPhone with the Photos app, which lets you whip out short videos quickly from "live photos" that include a few seconds of motion. Though it is rough, it gives a sense of what the event was like that day. To see more, be sure to watch our more professional videos -- and all the many other wonderful photos linked below.
Over 1,500 people of all ages joined our Earth Day celebration, to enjoy informative exhibits and fun activities, great music, fine art, good food, inspiring talks and a special youth zone. We invited participants to help create a better world by taking actions such as: use clean energy, eat sustainably, live lightly and build healthy communities.
Thanks to everyone who made Earth Day Marin possible, including our wonderful exhibitors, artists, musicians, speakers, volunteers and team members! Special thanks to our partners at Mill Valley Recreation, the City of Mill Valley and County of Marin – and kudos to all our sponsors, including Bay Area Air Quality Management Disctrict, Good Earth, Marin Community Foundation, MCE, Rex Foundation and Straus Family Creamery, and many more partners featured on our site. We hope you found this event as fulfilling as we did. :)
We’re particularly grateful to all our volunteer photographers and videographers, who graciously captured the spirit of our community celebration: Omar Aalami, Anita Baker, Griffith Ballard, Stu Bass, Lee Callister, Clari Cespedes, Luis Costa, Dana Dworin, Fabrice Florin, Liam Keane, Peter Joseph, Gil Latimer, Kevin Morrison, George Osner, Omid Shamsapour, Michael Wanger and Callie Zimmerman.
