NYC PROTEST OVER PARIS CLIMATE PULLOUT

-
Hundreds of New Yorkers rallied in Foley Square and Marched to NY City Hall today against Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement?  











Hundreds turned out for the last minute event in New York to Protest Trump’s Decision to Pull U.S. out of Paris Climate Accord Today.




Pulling out of the Paris Agreement will set back global climate leadership and condemn Americans to increasingly devastating climate impacts, poorer health outcomes, and loss of jobs and prosperity - which affect the poor, communities of color, and Indigenous people first and worst. 

Scientists have estimated that that 80% of known fossil fuel deposits would need to remain in the ground in order to meet the Agreement’s target of keeping the earth’s temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. 





Organizers say they will work to ensure that New York move into national leadership in transitioning from fossil fuels towards an 100% clean energy economy that works for everyone. 

They will call on Governor Cuomo, Mayor DeBlasio, and Comptroller Stringer to step up actions to reduce carbon emissions and to divest New York State and New York City pension funds from the fossil fuel industry that controls the White House. And they will call on all New Yorkers to resist the administration’s efforts to undermine federal policies that protect our air, water, and climate.
