Joe Bastardi’s Saturday Summary (9/20)
(List appears with about 1:00 minute left)
Who is organizing it?
The march and numerous actions later in the week were planned by The Climate Group, a prominent international nonprofit, in collaboration with numerous environmental groups and over fifty unions. SEIU 1199, 32BJ, District Council 37, TWU 100, and the IBEW 3 are some of the New York locals sponsoring the march.
Who is funding it?
While unions have promised to play a major role in facilitating the march, much of Climate Week NYC’s funding — which has allowed for a mass subway advertising campaign — has come from myriad corporate sponsors, including platinum sponsor Lockheed Martin, gold sponsor BMW, and “clean revolution partners” like IKEA and the World Bank.
Where do I find my comrades?
The Free Palestine Contingent will meet at 10 am at the northeast corner of 78th St. and Central Park West.
The People’s Climate March has also scheduled a labor bloc to meet between 66th and 72nd St. and an indigenous people’s contingent at the front of the march between 61st and 65th St.
System Change Not Climate Change, an ecosocialist bloc, will assemble at 10 am between 79th and 80th St.
The Anti-Capitalist Bloc of the People’s Climate March, organized by Black Rose but open to all anti-capitalist activists, will meet at 11 AM on 90th St. Look for the red and black flags.
