CALLING ALL FLX RESIDENTS, ACTIVISTS, ORGANIZERS, BUSINESS OWNERS!
- STAND WITH US ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST-

Loosely modeled after Bill McKibben's national Sun Day, we invite you to join us to establish unity and agency among those of us concerned about climate issues, clean air and water, and how our elected leaders are falling short in protecting the FLX from predatory, polluting corporations that exploit our clean air, water, and way of life for private financial gain.

This event will focus on the urgent need to address a number of pressing environmental threats that are putting the beautiful Finger Lakes region at risk, including the ongoing harms from Greenidge Generation, a gas powered cryptomining facility, and the Seneca Meadows landfill, the largest landfill in New York that is at capacity and applying to expand its footprint by 47 acres and continue operations for 15 years. New threats on Cayuga Lake are developing too.

We will be calling on New York’s elected leaders to stand with us, including Lieutenant Governor Delgado, in defending New York’s climate law, blocking corporate polluters from making our home their wasteland, and protecting the Finger Lakes’ natural resources and economic vitality.

We’re working in partnership with other regional groups who have helped organize impactful demonstrations throughout the state, and we expect strong turnout and media coverage.

But this event will not be successful without you. We hope you can join us to speak out and walk with us in this show of unity and resolve.
