*[Enwl-eng] WE DID IT!! Largest. Climate. March. In History.

[ENWLine]

Dear amazing Avaazers,

Months ago, our community decided on a crazy goal - the largest mobilisation
on climate change in history. Yesterday, we blew past our wildest
expectations, with a climate march *6 times* the size of anything before
it!!! This was 80 city blocks of New York:

And this was Delhi, Barcelona, Rio, Melbourne, Berlin, and Bogota...

Over 675,000 of us marched around the world. It was a beautiful expression
of our love for all that climate change threatens, and our hope that we can
save this world and build a society powered by 100% safe, clean energy.

Together, we made history, but it's just the beginning. The crucial Paris
climate summit is 15 months from now - that's where we need a global deal.
By March next year, countries have pledged to make their national
commitments - so our movement will divide to focus on these national
targets. But every few months until Paris we'll come together globally again
and again, bigger and bigger, to beat a drum for change, for 100% Clean
energy, that our leaders can only follow. The movement we've been waiting
for has begun.

With gratitude,

Ricken, Emma, Alice, Iain, Nataliya, Patri, Oliver, Diego, Rewan and the
whole Avaaz team


PS - We worked with thousands of organizations to make this day happen and
particularly love our friends at 350. But our community deserves to
celebrate the step we've taken. The Avaaz team and community played a
central role in almost all the marches and events held. The Guardian called
it "an organizing triumph" for Avaaz and the BBC said "the marches brought
more people on to the streets than ever before, thanks to the organisational
power of the social media site Avaaz." We fielded hundreds of organizers and
thousands of volunteers, and donations from our community provided millions
in funding to the effort. The challenges of our time call us to be better,
and together we've done that, growing and changing into a new and more
effective kind of movement, a movement that is now both online, and offline.
Huge gratitude to everyone who made it happen.
