When world leaders meet at the COP21 global climate talks in December, we need to signal that our movement stands strong and united to protect all we love from rising seas and the tyranny of planet-warming fossil fuels.

Please join 350NYC, 350BK, 350NJ and allied groups on Saturday, December 12th (the day the Paris talks conclude) in a highly visible event, followed by a press conference at Battery Park, NYC:

“Protect What You Love/Climate Justice Now” at the Statue of Liberty

In light of the tragic events that have occurred in Paris recently, 350NYC, 350BK and 350NJ have revised the plan for our “Road Through Paris” action.  These changes reflect our expectation of heightened security and allow us to still convey a strong message.

Our presence at the Statue of Liberty will send a message to world leaders that we stand resolved to protect all we hold dear from the threat of catastrophic climate change. As the embodiment of our freedom and liberty, a gift from France as an expression of solidarity with our democratic values, a safe harbor for refugees, and a symbol of hope for people seeking a better life, the Statue of Liberty provides an ideal backdrop for our urgent message.

• We will come dressed wearing green (your own coat, sweater or t-shirt over warm layers) to signify our unified call for climate justice and a swift transition to renewable energy.

• We will take a group photo in front of the Statue of Liberty (to be distributed internationally via social media).

• We’ll share our selfies using: #ProtectWhatYouLove;  #ClimateJusticeNow and #KeepItInTheGround hashtags and invite our friends to do the same from their most beloved locations.

Please reserve your place now — and make your place in history.
