*Colorado Springs Rally*

A large crowd gathered at the Colorado Springs rally on Tuesday despite
being in the midst of one of the most conservative towns in the United
States. The surprising and important turnout of over 150 people
demonstrated the significance of the March traveling through a variety of
communities to discuss climate action. Marchers met local activists at
America the Beautiful Park and marched in song through downtown Colorado
Springs with overwhelming enthusiasm. Rain showers and nearby lightening
weren’t enough to frighten off the attendees who remained to listen to the
speakers.



A thread that wove the speakers together in unity was talk of the temporary
closing of the Martin Drake power plant due to a fire in May. The community
members commented on the opportunity to transition to renewables with the
hope of keeping the plant closed. The discussion continued following a
wonderful potluck at the All Souls Church after the rally. The group
resolved to join forces in Colorado Springs and continue fighting the
Martin Drake power plant.

*Crossing into Colorado*

 Photo taken crossing into Colorado on May 30, 2014



By: Marcher Sean Fernand Glenn



Today we crossed into Colorado!



We all woke up as dry as we could manage, it has been a damp couple of
days. Mack and I were cooking. He has been in silence now for six days and
we are having fun communicating. We made oatmeal and put out veggies for
lunch all with the wonderful help of our prep cooks. Seeing as it is Friday
though, neither Mack nor I ate any of this food prepared. Fast Friday!!!



So food is done, we pack up camp. We circle up. The usual routine hear info
on the route, any announcements, and then we all set out together! Some
patience was practiced and we made it out as a group. We stuck together all
the way to the boarder, a mile and a half I believe, where we preformed our
boarder crossing rituals, mostly taking pictures but also some looking back
at where we have come from, a loud recognition of the states we have
walked. And then a quick CO celebration.

*Farewell,** New Mexico*

By: Ahni Rocheleau, New Mexico State Coordinator



New Mexico is an arid drought-stricken land on the front lines of the
climate crisis faced with utility companies that still prefer to expand
fossil fuels instead of renewable energy sources. The Climate Marchers
awareness campaign made an impact on this state’s residents and the
Marchers themselves are still ooing and awing over the enchantingly unique
New Mexican landscape, and the warm and loving people they encountered
throughout New Mexico.  We received so many responsive commentaries about
the kind heart-felt welcome they received throughout this state; especially
by Native American communities.  The Zuni Nation made available their
Detention Center during one of New Mexico’s gale-force windstorms and
blessed the evening with a special Katsina ceremonial dance for the
marchers.



The people of the Acoma Pueblo came out for a community conversation, and
the officers of the Laguna Pueblo provided a three-day escort through
Laguna Pueblo lands where no roads could otherwise carry the marchers
through safely. New Mexico is a young state so Marchers often were forced
to walk through fields where no roads existed. Also, the march was made
even more special by many of their generous hosts and we wish to publicly
thank the Ancient Way Cafe, the Squash Blossom Farms, the Santa Fe
Community, Santuario of Chimayo, Hanuman Temple of Taos, New Buffalo of
Arroyo Hondo, and the Lama Foundation who offered great hospitality, among
other generous contributors, which either housed and/or fed these dedicated
Marching Spirits.
