Climate Change Rally Brings Thousands to Protest in Los Angeles (Photography-Journal)

Los Angeles, CA - Over 100 cities across the nation gathered this Sunday for the Climate Rally protesting  construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  Here in Los Angeles  2 000  activists from Los Angeles and surrounding areas marched from Main Street to the steps of City Hall carrying signs and voicing their disagreement with the proposed pipeline.

The Keystone pipeline is designed to transport synthetic crude oil from the Athabasaca oil sands region to US refineries in Texas.  The public concern is over oil leaks , which occur frequently in pipe line construction and additionally a toxic nature of Alberta's crude oil. 

Sunday's Climate Rally was hosted and organized by actor and environmentalist Ed Begley. The organizations such as the Sierra Club, WilderUtopia, Citizens Climate Lobby, Long Beach Coalition for a Safe Environment played an important role in organizing Sunday's Climate Rally. The afternoon was filled with speeches and performances. 

Denis King from Topanga, California and a member of Topanga Peace Alliance came all the way to Los Angeles to participate in Climate Rally this Sunday afternoon.  Mr. King said " We are destroying our environment….. I think bicycles could be a solution and the best way of transportation".
