An Opening Reception will follow from 12:30-2:30pm. Exhibiting in the Gallery are photographs from the 2014 People's Climate March in NYC taken by exhibiting photographer, Susan Freiman.
This photography exhibit showcases the people and messages from the 2014 People’s Climate March in New York City. Over 400,000 people attended this amazing event. The photos reflect the diverse, worldwide community fighting climate change/global warming, including people from Rockland County (the Rockland contingent included Catholic Sisters as well as many others). Statements from March participants will accompany the exhibit. After Pope Francis declared his support for fighting climate change/global warming, a small book with many of these photos was sent to the Vatican via the US Embassy to the Holy See.
