Join Councilmember Brad Lander To Discuss Climate Change Tonight

Join Councilmember Brad Lander to learn more about Climate Change and the active steps we can take to fight it Wednesday, July 22, at P.S. 321 on 7th Avenue at 6:30pm.

The event will begin with a presentation on the One NYC Plan, Mayor de Blasio’s initiative to help New York obtain a sustainable and resilient city that works for all, given by Nilda Mesa, the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability.

“Income inequality and climate change are the two existential crises of our generation – so it is smart, urgent, and morally compelling to fight them together,” says Lander.

After the presentation from the City, there will be the opportunity to talk about what we can do to even more greatly reduce our carbon footprint and be part of the movement for climate justice. There will be supporters of divestment from fossil fuels and advocates promoting more rapid shifts to renewal energy present.

SolarizeBrooklynCB6, an organization working to make rooftop solar more accessible and more affordable in many of our neighborhoods, will hold a workshop to show the steps you can take in your own home to move toward environmental sustainability.

“We can’t afford to wait to combat climate change,” says Lander. “Come learn how we can work to address it as one united community.”

The discussion takes place at P.S. 321, 180 7th Avenue, at 6:30pm. If you are able to attend, you can RSVP here.
