In case you missed pictures of the first official action for Oct. 24, here’s the scene at 6:29 a.m. on Brooklyn Hill in Wellington.

“World, hear our call and know that as we stand here on this most incredible of days, we will stand here one month from now, one year from now and we will stand here as long as it takes for 350 to become a reality for our people and planet!” said Aaron Packard and Heidi Clark, representatives of the National 350 team
