Here’s some very exciting news!  UFPJ will have a strong presence in New York City over the People’s Climate March weekend, September 20-22. The whole spectrum of the Progressive Movement – environmental, labor, peace, interfaith, anti-nuclear, racial and economic justice and more – will be back on the streets of New York on Sunday, September 21, where UFPJ will march with the Peace & Justice contingent in thePeople’s Climate March. UFPJ’s workshop, “Uniting Our Strategies to Stop War and Save the Planet” will be part of the NYC Climate Convergence for People, Planet & Peace Over Profit, on Saturday, September 20.Monday, September 22, from 10 am – 4 pm, UFPJ will host a Peace & Justice Assembly at SEIU Local 1199 in midtown Manhattan, where we hope that as many UFPJ affiliates as possible will join us to talk with each other about how to tackle the overwhelming tangle of brinkmanship, violence, and wars that challenge us. Details will be forthcoming.

So make your plans. Hire buses/carpool. Reach out to see who from your area can come to New York for this historic People’s Climate March weekend. Please join us on Saturday for the Climate Convergence, the March on Sunday, and the special UFPJ gathering on Monday!

UFPJ is part of the Peace & Justice “Hub” which is being ably convened by former UFPJ National Co-Coordinator, George Martin. Please read the Peace & Justice Hub’s announcement, below for more information. We will provide additional details about UFPJ’s plans soon.

NOTE: Next Wednesday evening, September 10, UFPJ will host a national conference call to explore the connections between militarism, wars and climate change, and provide detailed information about the People’s Climate March weekend events.  Watch this space for an announcement!
