Friend,

It’s fashion week here in New York City. And we’re taking the catwalk to the doorsteps of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer because Chuck wants to sell us out to Big Oil.

We’re partnering with fashion label Imitation of Christ to make a fashion statement and a political one: Oil is Death. Can you join us? Click here to sign our petition to Senator Schumer demanding he rejects Joe Manchin’s deal to build more pipelines.

Sen. Joe Manchin’s vote for the Inflation Reduction Act came with a dirty side deal— in exchange for Manchin supporting the Inflation Reduction Act, Schumer agreed to back Manchin’s legislation to speed up the construction of new oil pipelines.

Our joint collection will be modeled in front of the Senator’s Brooklyn home this afternoon to send our message: The deal would be a huge win for Big Oil. And a huge loss for our communities and the planet. Can you make sure he feels the pressure by signing our petition? Click here to demand Senator Chuck Schumer opposes Joe Manchin’s permitting reform legislation.

The climate crisis is here and we don’t have time for politics as usual. We need bold leadership that will protect our climate and communities. And it will take all of us. Follow our fashion show tomorrow at 4:30 on our Twitter account (@nychange) and sign the petition and make your voice heard.

Best,

Alicé Nascimento, NYCC
