March to End Fossil Fuels, New York City
2023-09-17 | DC
Sunday, September 17 – March to End Fossil Fuels at 56th & Broadway in New York City.

Anyone that went to the first climate march in NYC in 2014 no doubt remembers it vividly — as I do. It was a river of young people, union reps, Front Line community leaders and climate activists from all around the U.S. flowing through the canyons of New York City streets. The crowd was alive with colorful art, music, chanting and great spirits. It showed a breadth and political depth of the climate movement that we’d never seen before. The energy from that event carried us forward for months after.

As we all know after the hottest summer in recorded history, this year’s first post-pandemic march comes at an absolutely critical time. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels, to protect people and the planet.
Thousands of us from across the U.S. will take to the streets before the summit to demand President Biden take bold action to end fossil fuels. Despite the Build Back Better and Inflation Reduction Acts, the Biden Administration continues to green light fossil fuel projects. Both science and moral judgement argue forcefully against that. We need to stop fossil fuel build out NOW.

Join us in NYC on September 17 to get this message across loud and clear. Go here to read more about planning for the March. Sign up here for a seat on the bus going from Washington. Please list 350MoCo as the organization with which you’re affiliated; that will help us keep track of and support anyone from this list that’s going. It also will help us know if we need to line up another bus. We hope we do need to!

Smart Salt Applicator Training

Smart Salt Applicator Training
Aug 22 and 30, 9am-2pm, Virtual
Hosted by the Izaak Walton League of America, the City of Gaithersburg, and Bolton and Menk, Inc, this event will teach contracted road salt applicators how to save money and protect water resources by using less salt while keeping roads, parking lots, and sidewalks safe. The tons of salt used every year to manage snow and ice damages infrastructure and vegetation and pollutes our lakes, streams, and groundwater. Oversalting costs you money and can threaten the health of our ecosystems and drinking water. Participating organizations have been able to reduce their salt use by 30 to 70%! While this training is FREE, spaces are limited, so register soon! Please contact Izaak Walton League staff at saltwatch@iwla.org with any questions.
