San Diegans will march from US Courthouse to Federal Building, City Hall, and will sign giant Thank You card to EPA workers. Hundreds of San Diegans will rally and march to thank and defend EPA and NOAA workers who are under attack by the Trump administration and stand up to Trump’s attack on our climate.
In the wake of climate-driven devastating fires in Los Angeles, participants will call for city and state governments to stand up to the Trump climate denialism and step up their own climate actions.
We cannot stand by while the Trump administration denies climate change in the face of the heartbreaking fires in LA, expands fossil fuel drilling, illegally cuts funds for renewable energy and environmental justice, places fossil fuel executives in charge of our environment, and paints a target on the backs of the EPA workers who are working for our health and our environment every day.
Starting at the Federal Courthouse, we’ll march to the Federal Building in downtown San Diego. We’ll rally in support of San Diego’s EPA workers who are under attack, call out Trump’s devastating actions for our climate and our future, and demand that San Diego and California step up climate action – including passing the state bill to make California’s largest fossil fuel polluters pay to mitigate, remedy, and prevent climate change costs and harms.
Join us as we fight for our future, for EPA workers, and for the rule of law!
Speakers include: Prof. Jeff Severinghaus, Scripps Institute of Oceanography climate scientist; David Fege, retired EPA staff who opened the San Diego EPA office in 1994; Jack Shu, former La Mesa Councilmember; Phil Petrie, Tyler Andre, Shayne Petkiewicz and Adeline Deig with SanDiego350; Ali Mariko Dressel, San Diego Green New Deal Alliance; and, Yusef Miller, ICEJ.
We’ll have plenty of signs, and of course your own signs are very welcome!

Climate change is happening now, with devastating disasters becoming more frequent and severe. The Trump administration has fired and put vital EPA workers on leave, decimated its environmental justice branches, and threatened to reduce its staff by 65%.
SanDiego350 is building a movement to prevent the worst impacts of climate change and climate injustice through education and outreach, public policy advocacy, and mobilizing people to take action.
