Yesterday evening, over 500 people gathered
in New York City to greet President Obama as he arrived at a House
Senate Victory Fund dinner at the Waldorf Astoria. Activists turned out
to remind President Obama of his climate commitments and to show the
public opposition to Keystone XL and several local natural gas
pipelines (Editor's note - Like the Rockaway Pipeline and the Spectra Pipeline!). Citizens from communities impacted by Hurricane Sandy were
there to speak to the toll climate change has already taken on New York.
The
event was locally led and was co-sponsored by a broad coalition of
local and national environmental and social justice organizations,
including Sierra Club, Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter, 350 NYC, 350 NJ, 350.org, 99Rise, Brooklyn
For Peace, Coalition Against the Rockaway Pipeline (CARP), CREDO, CUNY
Divest, Food & Water Watch, Friends of the Earth, Global Kids
Inc., Green Party of NY, Human Impacts Institute, NYC Friends of
Clearwater, NYU Divest, Occupy the Pipeline, Occupy Sandy, Restore the
Rock, Sane Energy Project, United for Action, World Can't Wait, WESPAC,
and You Are Never Alone (YANA).
Activists gathered in Bryant Park, where Reverend
Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping kicked off the event, and then the
group marched down Sixth Avenue and rallied in front of the Waldorf
Astoria hotel.
