San Jose Spotlight: Earth Day protesters want San Jose to do more for the planet
With a severe drought and the potential for early wildfires affecting Santa Clara County, Earth Day has protesters rallying to change the way people interact with the planet.
Shouting “Carbon change is not a lie, do not let our planet die,” members of Sunrise Movement Silicon Valley marched from San Jose City Hall to rally at Plaza de Cesar Chavez on Earth Day. About 100 people, many of them part of the Silicon Valley Youth Climate Strike 2022, walked to bring awareness to environmental advocacy and justice.
