David Zahrt To March Across America To Inspire Climate Action
David Zahrt of Carson City, NV will set out from Los Angeles, CA and walk 2,980 miles across American, to Washington D.C. on the Great March for Climate Action. The purpose of the March is to inspire and motivate the general public and elected officials to act now to address the climate crisis. It will be the largest coast-to-coast march in U.S. history.
Marchers will walk 14-15 miles per day and camp nearly every night. Bill McKibben, Director of 350.org, endorsed the March, “350.org was born in a march of a thousand people across Vermont; it always does our hearts good to see others on the move!”
“It’s a once in a lifetime event,” Zahrt said. “Hopefully the result will be a radical change in the way we’re using our environment.”
The Founder and Director of the Great March for Climate Action, Ed Fallon, a talk show host and former Iowa lawmaker said, “We are thrilled that David is willing to make the commitment to march across America for this cause. Not only will we march side by side for eight months, but we’ll learn how to live together, work together, and communicate the urgency of our message to the people we meet as we travel across the country. It is time to step forward for our planet, and our future!”
“The diversity of individuals who have signed-up to march is impressive,” reports Marcher Director, Zach Heffernen. “They range in age from 9-82 and originate from all across the United States and North America. I receive applications daily, and always look forward to receiving more.”
The March will start in Los Angeles on March 1, 2014, reach Phoenix in early April 2014, Denver in early June, Omaha in late July, Chicago in early September, Pittsburgh in October and Washington DC on November 1st 2014.
