Colleagues,
UUP will be joining our coalition partners in NY Renews for the virtual rally launch of the Climate, Jobs, and Justice Recovery campaign on August 19th.
UUP is a long-time coalition member of NY Renews, and we have worked together to fight for environmental justice across New York. Most recently, we celebrated the passage of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act last year. UUP member advocacy was essential to getting that important legislation passed.
Our current public health crisis, financial crisis and social justice crisis are all deeply linked to our climate crisis. It is more urgent than ever that NY State invest in its communities, create green jobs, transition to 100% renewable energy, and make polluters pay to provide for a decent, just recovery and a transition to an economy that works for all.
I encourage you join us for the Climate, Jobs, and Justice Recovery campaign launch virtual rally on August 19th at 12 pm. I will be speaking alongside other climate activists about the importance of environmental justice for our communities. You can register for the event here.
Please share this information with your colleagues. NY Renews has also compiled a rally toolkit that includes sample social media posts/graphics and emails.
In solidarity,
Fred
