Riverside, CA
Hundreds of thousands of Americans, including many in Riverside County, took to the streets in protest on Saturday and demanded the president take purposeful action on the issue of climate change.
Nearly 300 marches and rallies took place across the country—a indication that resistance to the president and his agenda has remained strong throughout his time in office. They were timed to mark his first 100 days in office, and to show dissatisfaction with the environmental protections the president and his lead at the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, continue to roll back.
Citizens across the nation and around the world fear that such continued action by the president, with the help of his cabinet, will do such damage to the environment that long-term negative consequences may result, including even more violent weather and a continued rising of the oceans.
