According to organizers, they believe there were around 75,000 people marching on the streets of New York City on Sunday.
Thousands of people filled New York City's streets, urging urgent climate action by ditching fossil fuels and kick-starting Climate Week in the city.
The U.S. leads in oil and gas production, prompting a desire for stronger climate action from President Joe Biden, with many advocating for the U.S. to declare a climate emergency. “We have people all across the world in the streets, showing up, demanding a cessation of what is killing us,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “We have to send a message that some of us are going to be living on, on this planet 30, 40, 50 years from now. And we will not take no for an answer.”
