Dear
All,
We
are at a crossroads, faced with a climate crisis that threatens to end our world
as we know it. We can’t afford the greenhouse gas emissions from the way we
live and from war and preparations for war. We must end the fossil fuel energy
economy which war protects.
The
Peace, Justice and Climate contingent will assemble at 10:00 am for a pre-rally
on Central Park West north of Columbus Circle. Confirmed speakers include Bill
McKibben, Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, Father John Dear, Margaret Stevens, and
Erica Violet-Lee of Idle No More, with music by Emma’s Revolution, Dar Williams,
and Holly Near. The march steps off at 11:30am.
We
go to New York to demand that the US government: • Stop wars for
oil • Redirect military spending to fund green jobs and sustainable
infrastructure • Stop the Keystone pipeline project, fracking and offshore
drilling • Move to abolish all nuclear weapons as required by the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty • Stop blocking proposals for effective
international action on climate put forward by developing countries Be
sure to check out the Climate Convergence conference on Friday,
September 19 and Saturday, September 20 in New York, with keynote speakers
including Naomi Klein and many more.
Humbly
for peace,
Kevin
Martin
Executive Director
