Yesterday, September 24th, people in 175 countries came together to move the planet past fossil fuels as part of 350.org 's Moving Planet day. San Francisco had one of the biggest events, consisting of a march down Market Street and a rally at Civic Center Plaza with Bill McKibben and Michael Brune. Thousands of us filled the streets and I was empowered by the passion, energy, and defiance that went into each step of each marcher.
To really get a sense of what Moving Planet and 350.org are all about, you've got to check out the absolutely awe-inspiring slideshow of photos at Http://moving-planet.org The internet has brought us to an age where there can be something called a "global rally" or a "worldwide mobilization" - we can see what's happening in Cairo, or the Maldives, and we can see that we are not alone - we are pretty damn powerful, in fact.
