SUN, 9/21: Join the Brooklyn For Peace contingent at the People's Climate March!

In September, world leaders are coming to NYC for a UN summit on the climate crisis. UN Secretary­ General Ban Ki-­moon is urging governments to support an ambitious global agreement to dramatically reduce global warming pollution.

With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we will take a stand to bend the course of history. We will take to the streets to demand the world we know is within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.

To change everything, we need everyone on board at the People’s Climate March on Sunday, September 21!

Join the Brooklyn For Peace contingent at the People’s Climate March! Other groups and individuals welcome to join as well.
