Over 150 people attended the event – people anxious for real leadership, on a state level, on such issues as renewable energy, rising sea levels, storm preparedness and greening the economy.
Robert Malin, on the executive committee of the RI Sierra Club, organized the event. At one point he apologized to the crowd for the seemingly never ending supply of speakers, but as he said, usually he asks a bunch of people, and most can’t come. This time, nearly everyone he asked to speak made time to be at the rally. Perhaps the people closest to the problem understand that time is truly running out?
