The Vincentian Family mobilizes on climate change and will be there when New York City will host the largest climate march in history according to the organizers of The Peoples Climate March.
Unprecedented Collaboration – Over 1,400 (!) businesses, unions, faith groups, schools, social justice groups, environmental groups and more, all working together.
Perfect Timing – World leaders will be gathered in NYC for a landmark U.N. climate meeting — just the right moment for big public pressure.
THE VINCENTIAN FAMILY MOBILIZES ON CLIMATE CHANGE
On September 21, 2014, the largest climate march in history will take place in New York City and we would like the Vincentian Family to come out in force! Conscious that “faithfulness to our charism challenges us to efficacious compassion toward the brokenness of Earth and its life systems,” * plans are unfolding for the different groups that make up the Vincentian Family to march together under a common Vincentian Family Banner.
