New York has seen enough already, from Superstorm Sandy to Hurricane Irene. And communities of color are getting hit the hardest. Here in the Capital District, the Governor is proposing a new fracked gas project on Sheridan Avenue near the Capitol and polluting diesel fuel trucks daily go through Albany’s South End.

On September 8^th, we will take to the streets with people around the world to demand bold action.

Lead speaker and moderator is Judith Enck, former administrator of EPA, Region 2.

Governor Cuomo: we need climate action, not just words. Let’s stop all new fossil fuel projects, make corporate polluters pay, and create thousands of quality jobs through a transition to a 100% renewable energy economy.
