Editor of the Reformer: On Saturday, April 17 in Brattleboro there will be a march calling on local, state and federal politicians to do more to address climate change. Marches are a big part of the reason Vermont Yankee closed, the Civil Rights movement had the successes it did, apartheid ended, women won the right to vote, and the labor movement built the middle class. In recent years, nine million people a year have died of starvation. Droughts, floods, and unseasonable heat and cold all caused by climate change make it harder for farmers to grow food.
