Urgent: Sign the Sierra Club’s Petition to Protect the Graniteville Wetlands!

The Sierra Club’s Atlantic Chapter joined the Staten Island Coalition for Wetlands and Forests

CLICK THIS TO SIGN THE PETITION

The Sierra Club’s Atlantic Chapter joined the Staten Island Coalition for Wetlands and Forests, in appealing to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York City government to reverse their decisions to permit the project to develop the Graniteville Wetlands. and to save this species-rich wetland until it can be protected as a New York City park.

It is dangerously naïve to think New York will not have more destructive storms. New York City needs to preserve and enhance all its wetlands areas.

March for Climate Justice Through Racial Justice

Massive, deadly fires in Western States. New storms aiming at the Gulf Coast. Wildly fluctuating temperatures throughout the country. And we’re not even mentioning what’s happening in other parts of the world!

This coming Sunday, Sept. 20th, we will march under the banner of Climate Justice Through Racial Justice… and we hope you will join us. While the devastation caused by climate change is in the top of the news these days, the other crises have not diminished: COVID-19 has taken almost 200,000 lives in this country, police abuses and brutality are exposed every day, white supremacists and right wing militia are active, the economic crisis is impacting the lives of millions of people every day, and much more.

We march on Sept. 20th because we know all of these issues are connected. We know that dealing with the climate crisis boldly will not be possible without addressing racism and white supremacy directly.  Now is the time for action on our part to make our elected representatives take the actions so desperately needed.

For more details about the Sept. 20th march, including the demands, visit pcmny.org.

Let us know if you will join us by filling out this short RSVP form. Share this message widely. Help get the word out by using our social media toolkit.

We hope to see you on Sunday. And on September 23rd, 6-8pm, join us for “The Intricacies and Intersections of Climate, Abolition, and Decolonization,” an interactive workshop highlighting the intersection of abolition and climate organizing.
