A recent graduate of Cal State Northridge, Ramirez, a Bakersfield native and current resident of the city, worked as a behavioral interventionist for children with autism before losing her job due to the pandemic. She and her companions are marching as part of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-oriented political initiative focused on addressing climate change. By marching, the participants hope to raise awareness of the Civilian Climate Corps, a $10 billion portion of President Joe Biden’s American Jobs Plan that would put Americans to work conserving public lands.
