I was glad to be at the 350 event on October 24, 2009. It was truly an amazing movement to me. LVEJO was a host for this mass protest. Many of us were gathered up in Pilsen in the shadow of Fisk Coal Power Plant. We shouted, danced and played music for hours. This was an event to rally the burning of coal in our communities. We were making the statement, “There is no such thing as clean coal”. We all know this is a very important issue and as frontline communities we must confront it. We demand our right to clean air and we were united to show it. At the event we had a couple of key speakers. Afterwards we marched and protested. There were some arrests at the event but it was definitely non-violent direct action. As a participant of the event I can say that it is a very proud moment for us.
