By myself as always. Certain relatives mock me as a "concerned citizen" because I go to climate rallies, so a certain housemate who used to go with me to them won't go now. So I always go alone.
Going to these things and coming to E/E is the only contact I have with anyone who isn't in denial and totally out of touch with what will be happening the next few decades.

I would go in a heartbeat if my presence outweighed the 3,600 lbs of CO2 my trip would put into the air. Can't justify it.

But I certainly wouldn't mock you or anyone, for that matter. Take pictures and keep us updated.

(I'm in the beltway so I can take the bus and metro to DC. If I had to drive a long way then it would be a different story.
I will be glad if it's a huge crowd, just hope most of them are car-pooling.
I've seen posts on facebook about people looking to share rides and stuff!)
