They want President Obama to reject the nearly 3,000-kilometer Keystone XL Pipeline, saying its development would harm the environment and ultimately lead to greater greenhouse gas emissions. They also want the president to order U.S. authorities to set carbon standards for power plants.
"The people are upset at what's going on and he needs to actually pay attention to what the people want and not what the corporations want."
Local and national environmental groups organized what they hoped would be the largest climate rally in U.S. history.
"You are the antibodies kicking in as the planet tries to fight its fever."周日示威者们自华盛顿国家广场到白宫组成了一条“人体流水线”， 抗议一条即将修建的横跨美国、从加拿大到墨西哥湾的石油管道。
示威者们希望奥巴马总统停建这条将近3000千米的楔石XL石油管道，称其将危害坏境并最终导致更严重的温室气体排放。他们同时希望总统要求相关职权部门制定针对电厂的碳排放标准。
“民众对当下发生的事情感到困扰，总统需要切实关注民之所想而非企业之所愿。”
当地以及全国性的环保组织筹划了他们看来是美国历史上最大的针对气候变化的集会。
“当地球与疾病抗争时，你们就是保护它的抗体。”（PS：这里的你们指的就是这些集会人士）
