On Saturday September 24, people all around the world joined together for 350.org's Moving Planet, a worldwide rally to demand solutions to the climate crisis.

In Seattle, 350 Washington State, Sierra Club, Cascade Bicycle Club, Climate Solutions, and many other community groups gathered at Lake Union Park for a rally, activities, and workshops to explore how to end our reliance on coal and oil while taking action on urgent campaigns in our region.

Without using fossil fuels, hundreds of people travelled to South Lake Union by sailboat, bus, bike, foot, stilts, skateboard, kayak, unicycle, stand-up paddleboard, carpool, wheelchair, and eBike.

Sustainable Ballard members arrived by conference bike, and other Ballardites arrived via the water in kayaks and sailboats.

At Lake Union Park, there were many activities including Skate Like a Girl and stand-up paddleboard classes, climate action workshops led by Earth Ministry and the Sierra Club, the Dutch Bike Company conference bike, a Zumba flash mob led by teachers from Roosevelt, tasty food trucks, an electric vehicle rally, and much more.
