We’re enjoying relatively nice weather today, but let’s not forget that our city was pummeled with three tropical storms this summer – the last of which killed more than a dozen New Yorkers – along with multiple heat waves.
Next week is Climate Week here in New York City. And we encourage you to join us for the following events:
Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 12:00 PM Jasmine Graham will participate in a Building Energy Exchange panel discussing how environmental justice considerations will impact decision-making and planning in New York City, particularly with respect to its built environment. RSVP
Wednesday, Sept. 22 As part of its week-long series of virtual events, TAZO will showcase a video of Peggy Shepard explaining the need for climate justice. The video will be shared on TAZO's Instagram channel and will be introduced by celebrated singer and songwriter SZA. Follow @TAZO on Instagram to see this and other climate justice content!
Thursday, Sept. 23 at 12:00 PM Join us for a Gas Free NYC rally to demand that the New York City Council pass Intro 2317, legislation that will eliminate natural gas hookups in new construction and gut renovations.
