Uphold Paris, Uphold NY's Climate Legacy

Bryant Park
New York, NY
United States
November 18, 2017,
2:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Join us on November 18th to make history -- literally. During this interactive, inspiring, and family-friendly event, we'll record in a time capsule what New Yorkers love and are fighting to defend from climate change. We'll celebrate the people and places at risk from rising seas, and memorialize Governor Cuomo's response to the crisis. 

In short, we, the people know how we’ll be remembered: as fierce defenders of the home we cherish. What’s far less clear, however, is the legacy left by Andrew Cuomo and governors across the country. Today, we asked Cuomo to join us in protecting our home against superstorms like Sandy fueled by Wall Street and fossil fuel executives. On November 18th, we’ll seal the governor’s response in our time capsule. May the future be the judge if his response is enough. 

And -- YOU are invited to contribute to the time capsule. Bring...
-An object (small enough to fit in your palm) representing what you love and want to protect in the face of climate change
-A letter to the future
