Five years ago, Superstorm Sandy took lives, destroyed homes, and flooded subways. Like in Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, the people hit hardest by Sandy were the poor, people of color, immigrants, and our already most vulnerable communities.

New York’s elected officials must protect us from the impacts of climate change and lead a just transition to a renewable energy economy. We cannot wait any longer.

On October 28th, we will assemble and march from the Atrium at the SUNY New Paltz Student Union Building, and then rally at the New York State DEC on S.Putt Corners Road.
