Mass civil disobedience draws links between global warming and human rights on Katrina Anniversary
Asheville, NC (Friday August 25th, 2006) – Approximately 100 bicyclists took to the streets this afternoon to demand “climate justice” for communities such as New Orleans who are already suffering from the effects of a warming planet. The ride, organized in 30 different cities by Rising Tide North America (RTNA), was held to draw attention to the links between fossil fuels, climate change, and destructive hurricanes. The Asheville ride was organized by TRNA’s local affiliate, Katuah Earth First!, as well as other organizers.
