If you’re a 60+ New Yorker we urgently welcome you to join the fight for our planet and voting rights, here in our city. Come help us build this local NYC group into something powerful and successful. Because we Boomers know it’s not okay, and it’s time for us to step up, not step back.
As New Yorkers, we have a fiercely proud history of activism. Countless social justice and labor movements got their start and found crucial support in our city. 60+ New Yorkers have a ton of skills and resources. We’re feisty, loud and unafraid to lift our voices. And many of us have kids and grandkids and great grandkids: we have, in other words, deeply personal reasons to participate.
Climate
We acknowledge the painful fact that in the thirty years since the first UN climate meeting in Rio 1992, global carbon emissions have risen by more than 60%.
In spite of all the good work…
Clearly it’s time to do things differently. Because as Einstein noted, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
As well as what we can do as individuals, it’s time for our generation to act TOGETHER and use our enormous power and resources. As we know from the science, this is our do-or-die moment to fight for our children’s future before climate tipping points are exceeded that can never be reversed.
We must pass on a living planet and a biosphere that supports our children and their children for generations to come.
