The Trump election represented a body blow to the fight against climate change.  In this new era, state leadership is more important than ever.  That’s why 40 labor, environmental, faith, and community groups have come together and launched Jersey Renews, a coalition that’s rallying support for Garden State policies that will lead to climate justice, clean energy, and good jobs.

You’ll hear from dynamic speakers who will describe how intelligent state policies can help us reach the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals we need, maintain and create good jobs, and give us cleaner air in our communities.  New Jerseyans will elect a new governor later this year.  We need all the candidates to know that there’s powerful support for taking action on climate change.

And, because we need to join our efforts to the national upsurge in support for socially just climate action, you’ll hear up-to-the-minute updates about the People’s Climate March in Washington DC on 4/29, including updates on the march route and the design of the action, opportunities to sign up for buses to DC, and more.
