Make Your Voice Heard and Your Vote Count – Special Environmental Forum on
the 2018 Elections

<http://greenhomenyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/September-2018-Forum-image-Evan-M..png>

This year’s elections will be key in determining the fate of environmental
and climate change policy, and New Yorkers will have a lot to weigh in on.
The NY State Attorney General’s race could even impact nation-wide policy.
In what could be a pivotal election year, it’s crucial that we become
educated voters before we head to the polls in November.

Please join GreenHomeNYC, the New York League of Conservation Voters, and
WE ACT for Environmental Justice on September 20th
<x-apple-data-detectors://2> for an election-focused environmental forum.

Learn about:

   - The results of the September 13th New York State primaries
   - Which offices are up for election and who is running in November
   - Where all the candidates stand on the environment
   - Environmental legislation that is before the New York City Council and
   New York State Legislature
   - How YOU can get involved in local environmental justice initiatives
