RAC-NY's Assembly– Help Set Our Climate Change Campaign for 2025
Tuesday, December 10^th from 7:00 - 8:00 pm (via Zoom)

Register Here!

RAC-NY will convene a meeting to help shape our climate change campaign for 2025 — and we invite you to join.

RAC-NY's Strategy Team has conducted extensive research over the last several months and will present options for what direction we might take.

RAC-NY's Campaign – Reproductive & Equal Rights
The proposal, formerly known as the New York Equal Rights Amendment will be on the ballot in November. Join the effort to pass Prop 1 to enshrine our rights and reproductive freedoms in our state constitution. Initiate conversations with your fellow congregants, friends and neighbors to help secure abortion protection in New York as well as equal rights and freedoms without political interference.

Climate Change Campaign– Be a part of the Climate Covenant
You will be notified of specific efforts as we work to build a strong base of engagement and support so that we can do more to end climate change through education, advocacy and legislation reform.

What can you do?
To participate in one of these calls, please email Mara Silverstein.
