A message from Seneca Lake Guardian:
“In our efforts to nip an extractive, exploitative industry in New York in the bud, we are hosting a critical demonstration at the DEC Region 8 Headquarters this coming Saturday, June 5th. We have media interest from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, China, and national news (CBS, NBC, ABC, Now This News). This is our opportunity to put pressure on Governor Cuomo to put his money where his mouth is, If he wants to be a leader on Climate, he must act on the extractive industry of Proof of Work cryptocurrency, which could cripple New York’s climate goals. Please share these memes, tweet them, do whatever you can to encourage people to SHOW UP on Saturday, June 5th.
Thanks to all who have been working so hard on this. We will succeed!
We have a 56 passenger bus for people to hop on.
First pick up spot is the Walmart Parking Lot in Watkins Glen (515 E 4th St, Watkins Glen) at about 11:30 am, making a stop to pick others up at Abtex (89 Main Street, Dresden) at 12:00, making another stop at Denny’s (813 Canandaigua Rd, Geneva, NY) in Geneva at 12:15, and onward to the DEC Headquarters in Avon NY to arrive by 1:30 pm and depart by no later than 4:00 pm, taking the same return route to drop people off, with an estimated finish time of no later than 5:30 pm.
Here is the proposed route for the trip to Avon.
People can email me directly at gasfreesenecagirl@gmail.com to let me know which pickup point they want to hop on. They should include their phone number.
