Dear Colleagues,
Please see the following message from Statewide President, Mr. Fred Kowal:
Colleagues,
Over the past several years, UUP has been involved in the work of NY Renews — a coalition of groups and unions committed to dealing with the climate crisis. NY Renews has shared a few opportunities for UUP members to be involved in their ongoing advocacy efforts. I encourage you to participate and share these opportunities with your colleagues, as the work is vital to our collective goals as part of the progressive movement and since many of our members are engaged in environmental actions in their personal lives.
First, NY Renews is hosting a mass call this Friday, Nov. 20 at 12 pm aimed at folks who are new to NY Renews or need a refresher on their big plans for 2021. During the call, NY Renews will be sharing opportunities to join their organizing efforts going forward. Register for the call here. Sample social media posts and graphics advertising the call can be found here.
Second, NY Renews is launching a new lobbying effort for the first half of December. In the next week, they need to lock in lobby leads, the most important piece to making this a success. If you are interested in leading or joining the lobby event, please fill out this form.
Thanks for doing this. Every step we can take to improve our lives must be taken during these difficult times.
In solidarity,
Fred
