NY Renews, State Legislators Will Mark 6th Anniversary of 'Sandy' Calling for Action at Trump Tower



New York, NY – On the 6th anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, October 29, – and in the wake of statements denying the reality of the climate crisis by President Donald Trump — members of the NY Renews coalition will stage a “die-in” at Trump Tower from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. to bring the urgency of the climate crisis to President Trump’s doorstep.

NY Renews members and state legislators will also call for Governor Cuomo and the state legislature to stand up to Trump by passing the Climate and Community Protection Act (CCPA) during the 2019 legislative session, in order to prevent the increase of future climate change-fueled storms.

This the first public response by NYC community activists to the dire report released by the United Nations that called for drastic changes in the next 12 years in order to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis. Following the release, President Trump doubled down on his climate skepticism, saying the climate would “just change back.”
