Washington, November 10 (RHC)-- Nearly 1,000 youth activists converged in Washington, D.C., Monday, shutting down parts of the city to demand action on climate change, racial justice and immigration.
Under the banner of "Our Generation, Our Choice," the protest brought together youth from the environmental, immigrant rights and Black Lives Matter movements.
The protest came as the World Meteorological Organization said greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere reached a record high last year. Talks aimed at reaching a global climate deal open in Paris on November 30th.
