So Many Voices: Forward on Climate

I was ecstatic; we filled the bus!  Twenty-two people boarded in Gainesville and another thirty-three got on in Jacksonville; so many had traveled a long way to join us.  It was 9pm and I finally got to relax: we were really off to Washington D.C. to join the Forward on Climate Rally.  What started with me wondering if my spouse and I could endure a long weekend car trip had been realized as a professionally-driven busload of 55 hearty activists. Thirteen hours later (and with only fitful sleep overnight), we arrived in the District of Columbia.  Many went off to meetings, seminars or music events related to the rally, while some visited sights or joined family—all recouped and recharged over Saturday.  THEN, Sunday we joined the BIGGEST CLIMATE RALLY IN HISTORY! Forward on Climate kicked off at the foot of the Washington Monument followed by a march around the White House.
