Hey everyone,

Below are some next steps post-March. Please feel out the doodle for a march debrief and if you can come to the party tonight!

Best,
Susannah

We did it! The People's Climate March was amazing.

In the end, there were over 400,000 people in the streets with us, 600,000 if you believe police scanners. Wow. Sunday was an amazing moment for this movement, and together we made it happen. We appreciated meeting, working with, and getting to know you all over the last couple of months and being able to share an office, a neighborhood, and a mission with all of you. What comes next?

We have a few things for you this week now that we've all had some time to relax from the big day...

1) We'd like to schedule a March debrief and next steps discussion for ou partner organizations and constituencies so we can continue to build on this momentum! Fill out the Doodle here http://doodle.com/tgxcx7mu8wg6xeb3 and we'll schedule based on popular demand and space availability.

2) Come party with volunteers and Community Leaders this Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 pm at SEIU 1199 (310 W 43rd St.). We'll have some good food and drinks, get to know each other, and make plans for next steps.

3) Watch this report back video of the march to re-live and reflect on the amazing feat we accomplished: http://youtu.be/gv6LXpkbTQ0

4) We're looking for stories! We want to tell the story of the march itself, and how it happened. If you would like to share a story from your hub, please send a little tidbit about your clearest memory of the march and the organizing leading up to it to orga...@peoplesclimate.org. A few of the most compelling stories will remain on the front page of the website into the future.

Warmly,

The PCM NYC Field Organizing Team: Caroline, Eric, Garrett, and Ravi
