Faiths 4 Climate Justice: A walk over the Hudson

FAITHS 4 CLIMATE JUSTICE

Walk across the Mahicantuck
on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge between Catskill and Hudson

A Global Multi-Faith Action

Sunday, October 17, 2021

This call-to-action coincides with the 2021 United Nations Climate Change conference- known as COP26 .  Two weeks before these UN climate talks, a global, multi-faith action will bear witness that governments and financial institutions must do more — and they must do it faster.

Earlier in the day of Sunday, October 17, faith communities around the globe will host events at their places of worship or assembly to unfurl banners calling for climate action, ring bells, sound gongs and chimes, call the Azan, and more.

​Then, in the afternoon of Sunday, October 17, those of us within the Upper Hudson Valley and surrounding hills will assemble along the Mahicantuck (Hudson River) to raise our collective voice as we walk across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge.

A group of Kingfisher Sangha members plan to attend this event, which is part of the Buddhist Action Coalition. Contact Tamara for more information about joining our local community in participating in this larger event.
