One Million Californians March for Climate Action in Iowa!

Dear Friends,

Before we share positive news about the Climate Crisis Parade, please take a moment to donate. Bold Iowa was a key leader in organizing the Parade (check out some of the photos here), and we need your support as we move forward in 2020.

Ok, so you’re wondering about the title of this message: One Million Californians March for Climate Action in Iowa. Shortly before the Caucuses, Andrew Yang referenced Iowa’s huge influence on the presidential nomination process, saying, “I did the math; do you know how many Californians each Iowan is worth? Yeah, 1,000 Californians each.”

Using Yang’s math, the recent Climate Crisis Parade drew the equivalent of one million Californians. Ok, so that’s fuzzy math at best. But for sure, a climate action in Des Moines that turns out 1,000 people is enormously important and, as we said last week, it was disappointing that the Mainstream Media’s (MSM) press coverage of the Parade was minimal.

We’ve since discovered more MSM coverage, including this excellent report by Telemundo — America’s #1 Spanish-language network. Check out that story, below, and also beautiful videos captured by Rodger Routh, Trisha Etringer, and Karin Stein.
