Federal legislation on climate has so far been disappointing to say the
least. But many movements over the last 60 years, from civil rights to
women's rights to gay marriage, have shown us that the keys to progress are

.

Drawdown NYC is excited to host a powerful event on *Wednesday, Feb.
16th* describing
how this coalition has been built, why this is the right strategy, and how
individuals and groups can support it. Our speakers will include Todd
Fernandez, originator of the Earth Bill Network and veteran of the OFF and
LGBTQ-rights campaigns; Peter Sergiento, a vital Earth Bill ally
representing the faith-based sector of the Earth Bill Network; and Keith
Voos, a co-founder of Drawdown NYC.
