I've been on two cross-country marches for two existential crises:
The Great Peace March (1986)
The March for Climate Action (2014)
@ L.A. to Wash. D.C., 3,000+ miles, 8 months.
I've never been so scared for humanity & planet as I am now

Sorry this is from the Xitter site, but Blue Sky wasn't around in 2014. (edit)
I was interviewed by President Obama's people. They misspelled my name but, that was me.

🧵 The Great March for Climate Action (2014), Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., 3000+ miles, 8 months of walking, and 24-7 #ClimateAction.
🧵 contents: articles, videos, and personal recollections from that experience.
I hope it helps others to take inspired action.

So many beautiful encounters on this #WalkForPeace.
Look at the reception and the yearning by so many people.
I like to believe this will lead to a shift in thinking/ beliefs/ politics and that we're ready for it.

Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.
NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

Please call your senators and tell them to demand rescission of the ICE/CBP funding under the BBB.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Just took a random 2 minute look and, I'm already disgusted by the call to "admonish ICE" (same as Schumer!) before just going ahead and funding the GOP's death project.

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”
