REMINDER: Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11th 350NYC Presents: Financial Strategies for Keeping Fossil Fuels in the Ground
7:00 – 9:30 p.m.
Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew
West 86th Street & West End Avenue
Climate change is threatening our food and water supplies, economy, infrastructure, public health, and the future of NYC. The main cause of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. Our panel will explore various financial strategies for how we can keep fossil fuels in the ground to prevent catastrophic climate change. Should individuals and institutions divest from fossil fuel companies? Or, should they remain invested in these companies to influence their policies as shareholder activists?
SPEAKERS INCLUDE :
- Helen Rosenthal, City Council member, District 6; Chair of the Contracts Committee.
- Liz Krueger, NY State Senator, 28th District; Sponsor, Fossil Fuel Divestment Act.
- Reid Capalino, Senior Energy Analyst, Carbon Tracker Initiative
- Bradford Goz, Director of Business Development, Fossil Free Indexes.
- Scott Zdrazil, Director of Strategy and Corporate Engagement, Office of New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer.
- Shanna Cleveland, Senior Manager Carbon Asset Risk Initiative, Ceres.
- Geraldine F. Watson, Vice President for Finance and Operations, Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
Event is to the general public. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. RSVP’s are not required.

Rejecting the bailout of the Cayuga Coal Plant, one of the dirtiest plants in New York, is a critical step in fighting climate change right here in our state.

Get on the bus from NYC to Albany on Monday, August 24th to help make sure the Governor and PSC hear the message. There’ll be a rally, exciting speakers, and an opportunity to bring the comments straight to our decision makers. Bus tickets are available through Sierra Club at the subsidized price of $11.54.
