Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins climate rally in NYC

STORY: With parades, concerts, and banging drums, protesters waved signs that read "Biden End Fossil Fuels", "Fossil Fuels Kill" and "Declare a Climate Emergency." The message was for world leaders to save the planet from the use of oil and gas believed to be driving a warming globe. At a protest rally, Ocasio-Cortez called on President Joe Biden and world leaders to end the use of fossil fuels across the globe.

Sunday's protests were part of a week-long international effort by Climate Group, a non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate change action and stop global warming, with more than 500 protests planned in the U.S, Germany, England, South Korea, India and elsewhere, totaling 54 countries. Organizers of the protests expect a global turnout of more than a million people.
