For the many of us who are traveling to New York for the UN NYC Climate Week, I know that the thought of adding one more event or activity is daunting. The week often feels like a traffic jam (and of course, it is that, too!) on our calendars as we try to show up for events that align with our work and to support others.
Knowing this, I am publishing a special newsletter this week to ensure that you know about this open invitation to join a Moblization (not a march, but a convening and a walk) happening on Saturday, September 21.
Project Dandelion and many other important climate and nature focused organizations were invited by artist and filmmaker Tiffany Shlain to come together to show solidarity for women’s rights and the right to a habitable planet — both of which are under threat.
We will walk from Madison Square Park across to the High Line, ending up at the Nancy Hoffman Art Gallery where Tiffany’s awesome and inspiring sculpture and movable monument Dendrofemonology: A Feminist History Tree Ring will be on view.
If possible, join us in wearing white in solidarity for women's rights and forward this invite to friends and people you know in NYC.
And if you haven't yet, be sure to RSVP!
