GET INVOLVED. TAKE ACTION.

An Open Letter to NYC Elected Officials

Over 140 local organizations have come together to send NYC elected officials a message: as plans are made to rebuild from the devastation caused by Covid-19, the threats posed by climate change must be taken into account. Let's rebuild a safer, healthier, more just city.#BoldNextStepsNYC

 

March for Racial Justice
Through Climate Justice

On September 20, 2020, over 80 organizations came together to kick off #ClimateWeek centering the most marginalized communities and calling for a more just world. The march was followed by a webinar on climate, abolition, and decolonization. We put forth bold demands prioritizing the needs and asks directly from Black & Indigenous organizers and youth.

 

Stop State Funding of Climate Destruction

After years of pressure from the #DivestNY Coalition, the New York State pension fund will divest from fossil fuels! At $226 billion, it’s the biggest pension fund in the world to do so. A big win for climate action and now we work to get those funds into our communities.
