Pax Christi Metro New York, along with over thirty other faith organizations, is endorsing the March to End Fossil Fuels on Sunday, September 17th, in NYC.
The march, sponsored by GreenFaith and People vs. Fossil Fuels, calls on President Biden to stop fossil fuel expansion and extraction.
See: March to End Fossil Fuels for more info.
The march will take place ahead of the UN Climate Ambition Summit – a first-of-its-kind meeting hosted by the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres, who has announced that the ‘ticket to entry’ for world leaders is commitment to ending fossil fuel expansion. While the Biden administration continues to green-light mega-polluting fossil fuel projects, we are mobilizing around the summit to leverage as much national and international pressure as possible to call on Biden to change course. This is a critical moment for mass mobilization on fossil fuels that could move Biden towards stronger fossil fuel phase-out ahead of the 2024 election.
The march begins at 1PM.
