March to End Fossil Fuels September 17

A massive climate march is happening in New York City on Sunday, September 17 from 1-4 PM. Join HRPGreen a Partnership of the Hudson River Presbytery, Presbyterians for Earth Care, Fossil Free PC(USA), Green Faith, Greenpeace, and numerous other people of faith and good will for the March to End Fossil Fuels.

This is just three days before the Climate Ambition Summit that has been called by Antonio Guterres, the General Secretary of the U.N. Leaders from across the globe will be in attendance in the city on this day and they need to hear from we the people if things are going to change. But our voices will be primarily focused on a call for President Biden to call a stop to fossil fuel exploration and subsidies.

Why President Biden?
America is the largest producer of oil and gas in the world.

President Biden is in an unparalleled position to lead the world toward cleaner, less polluting energy options and eliminate the dependence on dangerous fossil fuels. If he takes action, he will protect our health, boost our economy, and tackle the climate crisis head-on.

The March calls on President Biden to:
1. Stop Federal Approvals for new fossil fuel projects.
2. Phase out Fossil Fuel Drilling on our public lands and waters.
3. Declare a Climate Emergency to halt fossil fuel exports and investments abroad, and turbo-charge the build-out of more just, resilient distributed energy (like rooftop and community solar).
4. Provide a Just Transition to renewable energy future that generates millions of jobs while supporting workers’ and community rights, job security, and employment equity.

We will gather on Broadway between 53rd and 56th streets between noon and 1 PM. Our exact start point has not been assigned yet so if you send me an email I will let you know where to meet Hrpgreen40@gmail.com

We will be positioned in the march behind the Labor and Youth Hubs. The March will then proceed to First Avenue and 49th near to the United Nations headquarters I will be near the Hudson River Presbytery banner. My direct phone number is 914-419-8490.
