The last time a large rally about climate change occurred in Denver was in October when climate change activist Greta Thunberg was in Colorado.

On Friday, the group focused on the 2020 election and urged Congress to pass the Green New Deal. They want to end all fossil fuel expansion, hold fossil fuel companies responsible for damage, and transition to 100% renewable energy.
