Take me out to the crowd!
In the "faith contingent section" was a Noah's ark:
Many faiths were represented. Muslims . . .
. . . Buddhists . . .
. . . Jews . . .
Ecumenical organizations, such as ROAR:
Pagans
President of the UUA, Rev. Peter Morales (in yellow stole)
An estimated 1,500 UUs marched. Not all of them were in the yellow "Standing on the Side of Love" shirts -- but many were.
Rev. Meredith
Mario P and Pam C
Two UU ministers, Rev. Allison Palm and Rev. Heather Concannon:
Looking good in yellow!
Former CUC member, Gail B was there, representing her current congregation in Saranac Lake, NY:

"Solutions exist" kinda sums it up. The marchers didn't have any specific solution to advocate -- just the urgent sense that climate change is a solvable problem.
Rev Peggy Clarke, who serves our Hastings Congregation, was a huge organizational force in getting Westchester folks to the march
