UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has summoned the world’s leaders to the city in late September to consult about climate change. Because we think those leaders have done a lousy job, and because we’re tired of fancy words and ready for real action, we’re going to go to New York too, to hold the biggest demonstration in the history of the climate movement.
We are going to show just how big and unified our movement has grown, from the environmental justice advocates fighting fossil fuel pollution in our communities to the students demanding divestment on our campuses, from the scientists who have seen their warnings so far ignored to the clergy now showing real moral leadership.
If you’re wondering how to react to the devastating news that the Antarctic is melting out of control: New York. If you’re scared by the pictures of the fire and drought across the West: New York.
If you’re feeling like it’s time to change the trajectory of this planet: we’ll see you in New York.
September 20-21. Tell everyone.
