From the Rockaways to DC!

Posted

After hurricane Sandy, New Yorkers came together to occupy the biggest climate change disaster to ever hit our city.

This Sunday, February 17th, Americans across the country are coming together in Washington, DC for the biggest climate change rally ever.

There, we will call out the cause of Sandy: The fossil fuel industry, projects like the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline, and the 1%’s control of global environmental policies.

Rockaway Bus Information – Free Buses From YANA

Our friends at YANA (You Are Never Alone), an Occupy Sandy hurricane relief hub,  have organized a bus from the Rockaways because they want to make absolutely sure that the voice of Sandy survivors and relief volunteers is heard on February 17th. They will be meeting up in DC with 350.org and a myriad of other groups.

Buses will be departing at 7am from YANA, 112-34 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, at Beach 113th Street.

YANA is an inspiring example of community coming together after a climate change disaster to rebuild collaboratively and sustainably.  After you sign up to join them in DC,  please consider donating to help them get to DC this weekend, and take a look at this short film project about Sandy survivors and volunteers at www.rockaway113.com.
