WAYS TO FIT CLIMATE ACTIVISM INTO BUSY LIVES

Join an upcoming family-friendly climate action.

  • NYC Climate Strike. This is a youth-led climate strike to put pressure on the attendees of the UN Climate. Change Conference (COP25). Friday, December 6th, 12- 3 at City Hall Park.
  • Play-In at BlackRock headquarters. Tell the investment firm BlackRock to stop burning our futures by funding fossil fuel projects! Fun for all ages: music, games, and #alleyesonblackrock. Friday, December 6th, 10- 11:30 AM at City Hall Park.

Call your representatives and tell them to act on climate.
You don’t have to be a scientist or policy expert. The staff member who answers your call will simply record your concerns and pass them along. Call as often as you wish! If you don’t know who represents you, go to mygovnyc.org to find all your city, state, and federal representatives.

Participate in “Call Cuomo Mondays.”
Join a campaign to call Gov. Cuomo’s office (877-235-6527) every Monday to tell him to shut down all fracked gas power plants in NY. Text “CuomoMondays” to 698-66 to receive a weekly reminder. Follow #CallCuomoMonday on social media.

Join the new Climate Families workspace on Slack.
If you’d like to connect with other climate families, please join the conversation in the new Climate Families Slack! It’s a space to ask questions, share ideas, and find out about events and actions. Sign up here: bit.ly/ClimateFamsSlack.
