In alliance with the People's Climate March in Washington, D.C., and across the nation, a group of Leonia residents has organized the borough's own event to bring awareness to the global climate crisis—with a local angle.

The Leonia Climate March seeks to highlight what we as ordinary citizens can do in our everyday lives to limit the disastrous effects of climate change. By working together, our small New Jersey town can make a difference.

The march was conceived of and is sponsored by the Leonia Action Alliance, a new activist group formed in the wake of Leonia's own Women's March. Founded by Lauren Peccoralo, a primary care physician and mother of three, the alliance pushed for and supported Leonia's recent adoption of a Welcoming City Resolution. Now 100-plus members strong, the Alliance's mission is to share ideas and take action to protect human rights and stand up against injustice.
