Accompanied by drumbeats, wearing costumes and carrying signs, thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Manhattan on Sunday to urge policy makers to take action on climate change. The march came two days before the United Nations Climate Summit. It also coincided with New York's annual climate week. Here is a sampling of some of the folks who turned out on Sunday:
