Riverkeeper with the Waterkeeper Alliance—a coalition of 222 water advocates worldwide— are gathering forces to converge on New York City in the historicPeople’s Climate March Sunday, Sept. 21 at 11:30am.People from all walks of life will school together to greet world leaders for a pivotal climate summit.

Riverkeeper is teaming up with the SeaChange Project- a flotilla of hand made paper canoes heading from Troy on August 30 to The people’s Climate March in Manhattan on September 21. Join us Sunday, August 24 in Beacon with the 350.org for a People's Climate March training. View details on our events page here.

Join us for this monumental call to arms as we make our way through Manhattan demanding bold action – and wear a navy blue shirt to show our solidarity with Waterkeeper advocates from around the world. Nearly 50 years ago the Waterkeeper movement was launched on the Hudson River through the courage and determination of ordinary people taking extraordinary action. Now, we need your commitment to march with us.

Climate change is already disrupting life in New York. Storms come in less frequent yet more intense bursts, overwhelming our badly outdated infrastructure. In addition, snow melts earlier in the spring, changing the quality and dynamics of our rivers and drinking water systems. And of course, Superstorm Sandy reminds us that sea level rise poses risks to coastal New York and the Hudson River Valley.

The latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report reached a staggering consensus on the causes and severity of the climate crisis. The time for bold action from global, state and city leaders is now! Emission cuts cannot wait. Scientists determine that the threshold for maintaining a habitable planet is a global 2 degrees Celsius temperature increase. We are quickly approaching the point of no return.

However, there is hope! There is always hope. We have the technology and the resolve to solve the challenges humanity faces from climate change. We urge your support to create the public momentum that for too long has been absent from the climate crisis! Join us Sunday, September 21 wearing your navy to demand action for the waters of the world and the communities that depend upon them.
