She criticized the U.S. government for "not taking a welcoming approach" to climate issues even though the United States is responsible for a lot of the climate change that's happened toward technology.
Steve Masover, who is a member with No Coal in Oakland, echoed Rossoff's ideas, saying many people are migrating to the United States and around the world because of floods and other impact of climate change.
"That's why we related climate justice to migrant justice," he said.

Masover noted that the federal government should not make "villains of people who are coming into this country." "There's no reason to do that."
Robb Godshaw, a designer who works for a San Francisco-based company, told Xinhua that he is not officially affiliated with any of the groups protesting in front of the ICE headquarters, but he would come every day for the noon-hour demonstration.
"Everybody is upset that the immigration customs enforcement group is putting children in cages and separating families to enforce (President) Donald Trump's racist policies," he said.
Godshaw said he had come back from China last month and was very much impressed by the rapid changes and the high-speed rate of construction in the country.
