Join us as Lindsey Allen, Executive Director of Rainforest Action Network's and Elizabeth Yeampierre, Executive Director of UPROSE discuss the urgency of the climate movement, how local leadership results in national impact, and the climate change realities that New Yorkers already deal with.
Rainforest Action Network is one of the most effective and innovative environmental organizations today. Since 1985, RAN has challenged some of the biggest corporate offenders in defense of people and planet — including household name brands, major corporations and leading banks. RAN publicly targets high-profile corporations responsible for deforestation, climate change and human rights violations to shift entire industrial sectors and change destructive “business-as-usual” practices. And they get results.
Founded in 1966, UPROSE is Brooklyn's oldest Latino community-based organization. An intergenerational, multi-racial, nationally recognized community organization, UPROSE promotes sustainability and resiliency in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood through community organizing, education, indigenous and youth leadership development, and cultural/artistic expression. Central to our work is advocacy to ensure meaningful community engagement, participatory community planning practices, and sustainable development with justice and governmental accountability. As lead advocates of climate justice, UPROSE views the just urban policy—ranging from transportation to open space—as the heart of climate adaptation and community resilience.

Protesters shut down traffic outside New York City Hall Wednesday, partially blocking access to the Brooklyn Bridge, staging a die-in to demand radical action on climate change and remaining in the streets until the police arrested at least 62 people. The protest was just one of a series of demonstrations being staged around the world this week by Extinction Rebellion, a global movement taking direct action to demand drastic government action to combat the climate crisis. Protesters say the demonstration is just the beginning of a growing resistance movement, and more actions can be expected later this week.
The artist behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's new film, which envisions the world with a successful Green New Deal, explains her vision for the project: "We wanted to capture the idea that, yes, we can do great things," says Molly Crabapple. "We can be resilient. We can come together."
