Thousands of people flocked to New York City for the ‘March to End Fossil Fuels’ today.

“It’s not just a country issue. It’s a whole world issue,” says Diana Sanchez, a coordinator with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, who joined the march. “You have hurricanes, you have natural disasters, and it causes people to migrate over. And then they come to this country in search of work, and then they overheat while they’re working ... So it was very important for us to be here representing all the voices that are not being heard.”
