Banner created by Mazai Almeida-Warwin, a member of Bro/Sis, for  the People's Climate March

Bro/Sis was a partner organization this week in the largest climate march in history - The People's Climate March.  Bro/Sis members and staff sang, marched and rallied all day long.  In addition, the day before we hosted a collaborative art effort called "Harlem Rooted" along with WE ACT and The Laundromat Project.  At this art creating event twelve-year-old Mazai Almeida-Warwin, son of Bro/Sis Co-Founder Jason Warwin, created a large poster that became the iconic image of the march and was printed in many publications around the world and even became the home image of The People's Climate March site.  Click Here to see coverage of this event.
