If we got 5,000 Americans who were talking about climate change to their neighbors and to their coworkers, and talking about this pledge, that would change the political and social landscape so much more than if 5,000 people got arrested for protesting a pipeline.” PeopleIfsMindPoliticalSocialTalkingMovementClimateClimate ChangeNeighborLandscapePledgeArrestedPipelineSocial MovementsCoworker Author:Margaret D.
