I'm excited to hear this. I wanted to attend what I thought would be the closest one to me (three hours away) but had a something to attend to. Yesterday I learned there was one only an hour away in my very red county ๐Ÿ™‚ pretty excited to bulk those numbers up but a little nervous as a federal employee. But also whatever, I'm doing it.

They're going to get bigger.

They've got to get bigger or nothing is going to happen.

Number 2 was in 1970 for Earth Day, so that had to be the boomers protesting, right?

The oldest boomers would be 24, the youngest would be 6. So mostly silent and greatest gens probably.

And look, they fixed climate change!

[โ€“] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago

No generation has fixed climate change. No one is making a dent because it isn't the people who are the biggest perpetrators, it's the corporations and billionaires.

I lived through most of these, and I can only recall about 5 of them.

When are we going to do something that will actually appear in a history book?

When luigi gets found innocent. If that never happens, i wouldnt be too concerned about the history books bc there wont be many people to read them.
