2017 0219 Brownsville Climate March


Marchers walked from Washington Park to the International Bridge and back for this demonstration calling for better treatment of our planet to protect it from further climate change caused by fossil fuel refinements. 
 "What do we want?  Justice!  When do we want it?  Now!"
 Peaceful marchers showing what Democracy looks like.

 Some very creative signage used to attract attention


 (Note to self - ask people to step into light for better brighter more colorful photographs)
 Check out these awesome signs!  Save the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
 This caricaturist had a table set-up at Washington park
 Iv'e seen this written as "Honor you mother" as in Mother Nature but I guess not this time.
Who knew Donna had a lake.  Who knew that is is toxic?  Just Google it or search videos on YouTube and learn a lot you didn't know about the RGV and pollution.

 Everywhere there were signs

 These signs were cool 
 Eric holding up a sign he made himself.  I might have painted the yellow background at the sign making party.  I painted a few base coats for signs and it was fun.

 These are local native Americans who claim heritage indigenous to this border region originating from Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas.  
 Juan Mancias representeing the Corrizo / Comecrudo Tribe of Texas.  The name does mean "Those who eat raw" and is Spanish.  To learn more about how them check out their very informative webpage for the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas
 People from the upper valley were in Brownsville to unite for common causes / concerns 
 Adrian Foncerrada played music for the well attended event
Cool talgate with bumper stickers I noticed after leaving the park
