Monday, May 13th
5:00pm gather in Bryant Park at the fountain (right inside the park at 41st & 6th Avenue.
5:30pm march to the Waldorf Astoria (up 6th Avenue to 48th and then over to Park Avenue).
6:30pm rally close to the Waldorf Astoria (exact location tbd)
This Monday, New Yorkers will march and rally to send a message to President Obama against fossil fuel pipelines that are destroying our lives, our health and life on this planet we share.
Hurricane Sandy brought Climate Change home to our own backyards and front stoops. Now, New Yorkers have united against the Spectra Pipeline, Rockaway Pipeline, and the Keystone XL Pipeline. We need to move away from fossil fuels and forward on climate!
In his Inaugural Address just a few months ago, President Obama promised “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.” On Monday, May 13, the President will attend a fundraiser with the 1% at the Waldorf Astoria hotel on Park Avenue and in Manhattan.
When he arrives, we will raise the voices of our communities together to declare: natural gas and tar sands oil are not solutions for a sustainable future.
We push for real renewable energy now. We push for the Federal government to invest in off-shore wind and solar powered rooftops that are ready to be implemented but lack the funding that is given to a fossil fuel industry that continues to kill our future.
We ask you to join us if you stand united against pipelines, against fracking, and for Presidential courage on climate change. Let's unite against these pipelines and move our country forward on climate!
