Mobilization on eve of Pan American summits in Canada brings together start of "new kind of climate movement"
A mobilization calling for a "new economy that works for people and the planet" will bring together unions, environmentalists, anti-poverty organizations, farmers, faith groups, Indigenous peoples and others on July 5 in Toronto, according to a video about the March for Jobs, Justice & the Climate.
"Environmental struggle has to merge with the struggle to build a just society, because a society that's willing to abandon people is certainly not willing to pay attention to a sustainable future for the climate," says John Clarke, an organizer with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty.
