March to End Fossil Fuels NYC

The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels. Pressure is needed to ensure that our leaders follow through in their commitments.

Join us Sunday, September 17, at 1pm as we march in New York City, calling for the just transition to renewable energy.

  • STOP FEDERAL APPROVALS for new fossil fuel projects and REPEAL permits for climate bombs like the willow project and the mountain valley pipeline.
  • PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUEL DRILLING on our public lands and waters.
  • 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).
  • PROVIDE A JUST TRANSITION to a renewable energy future* that generates millions of jobs while supporting workers’ and community rights, job security, and employment equity.
