International Women's Day Special Broadcast - The Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice

The Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice


On September 11, 2018, women climate activists from around the globe gathered in San Francisco for The Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice. The day-long assembly was organized by the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network International, known as WECAN. The Women’s Assembly was part of a week of actions, including the largest march for climate the West Coast has ever seen.

In this hour, we’ll be hearing stories and analysis from:

  • Indigenous women from North America and the Ecuadorian Amazon,
  • A poet from the Marshall Islands which are threatened by rising sea levels,
  • A representative of the youth-led Sunrise Movement promoting a Green New Deal,
  • Voices and chants from the streets of the Rise for Climate, Jobs and Justice March that filled SF with 30,000 marchers on Sept 8th, 2018.
  • And more!
