John,

We all have our reasons for wanting to end fossil fuels. For some, it’s to protect water, wildlife, and ecosystems from dangerous oil drilling. For others, it’s to protect people’s wellbeing.

For me, it’s to stop the deadly heatwaves, wildlife smoke, and flooding made worse by fossil fuels.

If we want to save life on Earth and stop the climate crisis, one thing’s for certain: We need to act together, calling on President Biden and other global leaders to phase out fossil fuels. [link removed]

Biden’s climate track record is disappointing. From Alaska to Appalachia, the Biden administration has approved permit after permit, pipeline after pipeline, while propping up the corporations that value their bottom line over the planet’s future. We’re out of time — which is why we’re taking action.

On September 17, a few days before the UN’s Climate Ambition Summit in New York City, we have a unique opportunity to gather in the streets of the city and demand that Biden end approvals of fossil fuel projects, phase out oil and gas production on federal lands, and declare a climate emergency. He needs to hear from us that the planet can’t take any more abuse from fossil fuel development.

Thousands of people from across the country have already committed to joining the March to End Fossil Fuels in NYC. We’ll be meeting at 56th St. and Broadway in Manhattan at 1 p.m., and the mobilization — set to be the largest since the pandemic — will go until 4 p.m.

I’d like to officially invite you to come to New York on the 17th. Can I count on you to be there?

Join the march to demand a just, livable future for all of us. [link removed]

P.S. If you sign up through this form, you’ll be added to our biodiversity hub. Hosted by the Center, the hub will give you an opportunity to meet up with likeminded folxs, learn a biodiversity chant or two, and more. [link removed]

P.P.S. We recognize the march is planned for the second day of Rosh Hashanah. Several factors led the Center and allies to choose this date, and we did not make this decision lightly. We deeply respect that Jewish communities have different relationships with protest and social action during the High Holidays. We honor and affirm that many Jewish communities and organizations will be praying at this time, and we celebrate their observance.
