NJ Climate & Energy Forum

[Tobias Fox]

Friends,

Throughout the region, we're struggling against an unprecedented expansion of oil and gas infrastructure, with more pipelines, oil trains and LNG terminals being proposed through our communities to transport the dirtiest fuels on the planet. These projects jeopardize our health and safety locally, and around the globe, we are already seeing the impacts of our dependence on fossil fuels, with extreme weather, rising sea levels, freshwater scarcity and famine become ever more frequent and severe.  But even as the fossil fuel industry pushes our planet toward critical tipping points, our collective actions constitute a powerful movement towards a clean, renewable energy future.

It's time we brought New Jersey's communities together to strategize on a larger, more coordinated scale. Can you join us this Saturday for the Food & Water Watch Climate and Energy Forum?

What: Food & Water Watch Climate and Energy Forum
When: Saturday, October 31 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Trustee's Pavilion, Ramapo College, 505 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, NJ 07430
Cost: $13 to cover breakfast and lunch for each attendee (scholarships are also available)

This one day event includes panel discussions, a networking lunch, and a keynote speaker, all designed to strengthen our movement to end fossil fuel development in our communities, and bring about the policies at the local, state and federal level that represent real climate solutions. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with activists and concerned community members from around the region.
