Tens of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Midtown Manhattan on Sunday ahead of the U.N. General Assembly.

At a protest rally, Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the crowd, calling on world leaders to end the use of fossil fuels.

Sunday’s protests are part of a week-long international effort by Climate Group, a non-profit aimed at driving climate change action and stopping global warming. More than 500 protests are planned across 54 countries.

Organizers have said they expect a global turnout of more than a million people.
