September Edition: Climate March, Gala Celebration, Bike Events
Hello, neighbor!
As we wind down into the fall season, there are still many exciting events coming up this month. From a big climate march to a fancy gala, we got it all for you!
Take Action
This Sunday, our friends at SafeStreets JC will be hosting a rally in Hoboken before departing to the NYC Climate March.
On Sunday, September 17th, we will gather near the Hoboken Train Station at 10:30am and rally to call on Governor Murphy to stop plans for the 10 billion+ dollar scheme to widen the Turnpike in Hudson County which will result in more idling traffic in our communities, AND two proposals for new gas plants in Kearny and Newark that will worsen toxic pollution in our region! Then we’ll take the PATH together to NYC and attend the march to end fossil fuels.
Can you travel with us from Hoboken? RSVP here.
