The Climate Reality Project, a non-profit global network comprising 3.5 million climate activists, was one of the many organizations present at the march in New York City today.

We are mobilizing around the summit to leverage national and international pressure to demand leaders change course.

This is a critical moment for mass mobilization on fossil fuels that could ignite bigger and bolder climate action.

Here is a tweet by Oil Change International of the various climate change marches that were staged around the world this week, including today’s rally in New York City.

This is a big, beautiful climate movement & we’re calling on world leaders to #EndFossilFuels NOW. No more talk, we need action!

This week by the numbers:

600,000 people.
700 actions.
65 countries.
All 7 continents.

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE.

But numbers don't do it justice. This is a big, beautiful climate movement & we're calling on world leaders to #EndFossilFuels NOW. No more talk, we need action! pic.twitter.com/NAWdoZQDj4
