[10.19.17] October 24: Tell Your Legislators They Must Lead on Climate

Less than a week until our Town Hall. Don’t Forget to Get Your Free Ticket!

At least seven state legislators have already committed to attend our October 24 Town Hall. This is an important opportunity for Brooklynites to tell them we are serious about climate change, and they must provide serious leadership and take aggressive measures to address the crisis of global warming.

The event, a partnership with Brooklyn College Urban Sustainability Program, takes place on October 24 at 7pm at the Brooklyn Brooklyn College Student Center, 2705 Campus Road (view map). There will be students, activists, concerned citizens, climate leaders, and you.

This is a free event, but tickets are required. If you haven’t already, get them here.

Here are a few more things you can do right now to help get the word out:

  • Share the event on Facebook.
  • Contact our outreach team and help spread the word at
  • Invite your friends. A personal invitation always works best.

With an unprecedented storm sweeping through Ireland, Puerto Rico still struggling to recover from Hurricane Maria, and California recovering from record breaking fires, we all know action is urgent.

Join us on October 24, and let your elected leaders in Albany know that you are holding them accountable.

Thus far, the following legislators have committed to attend: Assembly member Jo Anne Simon (D РDistr. 52); Sen. Diane Savino (D/IDC РDistr. 23); Sen. Roxanne Persaud (D РDistr. 19); Assembly member William Colton (D РDistr. 47); Sen. Jesse Hamilton (D/IDC РDist. 20); Assistant Speaker Assembly member F̩lix Ortiz (D РDist. 51); Assembly Member Robert Carroll (D Р44th Dist.).
