Climate group gets name change

Posted

To the Editor:

I’d like to inform readers of The Press of an important name change for our new, community-based, climate change organization. The Riverdale-Kingsbridge Coalition for Climate Action is now officially Bronx Climate Justice North (BCJN). We received an invitation from our neighbors with the Bronx Climate Justice organization in the south Bronx, to partner with them and choose a new name to reflect that alliance. 

Bronx Climate Justice North is based in Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill and the northwest Bronx, and will do much of its work in those communities, but we are also very excited about working with climate justice frontline communities in other parts of the borough. 

Please join us, one and all, as we fight against climate change (not for it, as an announcement in the Oct. 23 edition of The Press mistakenly declared!). You can find Bronx Climate Justice North on Facebook, including details about upcoming meetings. We have so much urgent community-building and greenhouse-gas-conquering work to do — and five weeks since the People’s Climate March, and on the second anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, we finally have a climate justice organization in our own community to do it: Bronx Climate Justice North!
