 I rise on September 6th because empty rhetoric from our elected officials won't create the change we need to meet our climate crisis. Because people of color are disproportionately affected by climate change. I rise for my daughter. I rise for my granddaughters who haven't been born. Because I'm a mom. Because it is an emergency. To protect communities against the fossil fuel industry. New York is rising for climate, jobs and justice. Because as a young person I've never had the liberty to question the reality of climate change and I demand elected officials that will stand with our communities and against fossil fuel corporations. On September 6th, I'll rise for climate, jobs and justice. Politicians are either complicit like Trump or complacent. Time is up. We gotta move. Join us September 6th that's calling these elected officials to rise to the climate crisis.
