An effort is underway led by a grassroots movement called Break Free demanding that international leaders take more radical steps to combat the threat of global climate change.
An organization called Break Free will host six large-scale demonstrations throughout the United States on Saturday and Sunday, calling for a halt to all new fossil fuel projects and a phase-out of all existing uses of fossil fuels, in an effort to contain the potential for global devastation due to climate change.
The group is organizing protests during a two-week global wave of action, targeting dozens of high-profile fossil fuel infrastructure projects and calling on world governments to leave fossil fuels in the ground.
