Dear Friends, On Sunday Sept 17th Catholic youth will join the March to End Fossil Fuels in New York City with thousands of concerned people and climate activists, part of the Catholic Contingent organized by Metro NY Catholic Climate Movement and Pax Christi Metro NY. The march is happening before the UN Climate Ambition Summit on Sept. 20 in NYC.  After historic heat waves this summer, and inspired by their faith, young Catholics are calling for urgent action to address the climate crisis and an end to reliance on fossil fuels. The youth are urging global leaders and all people to act on the climate crisis and promote climate solutions that prioritize the wellbeing of their future, our common home, and its people around the world and nationally. Before the march, the Catholic youth will attend Mass and then hold a press conference in NYC calling for urgent climate action, organized by Catholic Climate Covenant's Youth Mobilization program. If you are in the New York area that day, we invite you to join the youth in the march, or support them at the press conference. If you cannot attend in person or are outside the area, tune in on social media to hear directly from young Catholics on why they march.
