Write Letters
In December 2017 1000 Cities and countless other activism partners celebrated a massive victory in getting New York City to divest $390 Billion from Fossil Fuels. How did we pull this off? Protests, phone calls, lobbying and letters.
Letter writing is one of the best ways to put the pressure on city officials. Yes, it can feel “old fashioned” in this day and age, but bombarding a city office with thousands of physical letters sends a very clear message: we are here, our voices matter, it’s time for you to listen.
There are countless topics you could choose to write about, but here are a few we’re working on.
Urge your city to join the 1000 Cities Initiative and go 100% fossil fuel free by 2040.
Commit to zero waste — get your city to implement widespread compost and recycling stations.
If you are outside of NYC (even New York State residents), convince your city to divest from fossil fuel pension funds.
