17] – The Union of Concerned Scientists [action@ucsusa.org]
are holding a virtual webinar on Mon., Sept. 9 from 4 to 5 PM ET -- Looming
Deadlines for Coastal Resilience. Join to learn more about rising seas,
disruptive tides, and other risks climate changes poses to coastal
infrastructure. Research led by the
Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) shows that between now and 2050, climate
change-driven sea level rise will expose more than 1,600 critical buildings and
services to disruptive flooding at least twice per year. Learn more about how
countries’ choices around global heat-trapping emissions will leave critical
infrastructure in jeopardy later this century.

23] – As part of Standing against Racism: Fostering Unity through Dialogue, MPT will be showing on Mon., Sept. 9 at 9 PM ET The Five Demands. In April 1969, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York, an elite public university located in the heart of Harlem. The CCNY strikers were the vanguard of a national Black student movement that transformed the culture, mission, and curriculum of American higher education. Told through the participants' point of view, the film follows the students' struggle against the institutional racism that, for over a century, had shut out people of color from this institution and other public universities.

People’s Action has a vision for the future in which we all have a say, we all have what we need, and we all belong. In that vision, our government and our economy serve all of us, not a handful of billionaires, and concerns about corporate profits take a back seat to the well-being of our people and our planet. Over the coming weeks, reach out to voters in critical states to share this vision with them and invite them to join us in working towards it. The next phone bank at 5 PM ET is on Tues., Sept. 17. These calls will continue through Sat., Oct. 19 at 1 PM ET.
