KIRO 7 Seattle

Thousands marched in downtown Seattle Saturday on President Donald Trump’s hundredth day in office to demand action on climate change.

The People’s Climate March in Seattle was one of about 300 other protest marches expected around the country.

Participants in The People’s March say they’re objecting to Trump’s rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling, and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other things.
