Outdoors at Congregation B’Nai Shalom, 125 Church St, Putnam, CT 06260
On Rosh Hashanah, we blow the shofar, the ram's horn, in a call to action. Join us as we call out for Climate Justice along the Quinebaug River near the proposed site of an unwelcome fracked gas plant: acknowledging the ways we have failed to bring about climate and environmental justice, and affirming our work to do more. We'll call for an end to the fracked gas plant, and for the passage of a Just, Green Recovery. This public-facing action will include many local and State environmental groups, and we hope Senator Blumenthal will join us as well. For more information, to RSVP, or to volunteer, click here.

Strengthening CT’s Environmental Justice Law: Hear from Advocates who Won Passage of New Jersey's Groundbreaking EJ Law
Strengthening CT’s Environmental Justice Law: Hear from Advocates who Won Passage of New Jersey's Groundbreaking EJ Law
September 15, 2021 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
In 2020, environmental justice advocates in New Jersey won a years-long effort to strengthen protections for communities overburdened with pollution. The groundbreaking New Jersey law requires the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to deny permits for new facilities that would cause or contribute to adverse cumulative impacts in overburdened communities.
Join CT Renews for a presentation and discussion with New Jersey advocates Maria Lopez-Nunez, deputy director and EJ director of the Ironbound Community Corporation in Newark and Dr. Nicky Sheats, cofounder and president of the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance.

End Environmental Racism: A Climate Emergency Townhall
End Environmental Racism: A Climate Emergency Townhall
September 18, 2021 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Bushnell Park, Downtown, Hartford, CT 06103, USA
Saturday, September 18, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Join the Sierra Club and other groups at Bushnell Park for an afternoon of powerful speeches, music, and poetry by those most harmed by state inaction on the climate crisis. Environmental injustice is racist and classist. Despite voicing concerns about the climate crisis, the Connecticut government continues to expand the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel extraction and emissions not only damage the global environment, but directly harm Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and low-income folks in our communities. In this event, members of those communities will be sharing their experiences and perspectives on the necessary response to climate disruption. Send a clear message to state leaders: a serious, urgent plan for getting off fossil fuels is long overdue!. For more information click here.

Live, In-Person EVent at Miller Public Library
For the fourth consecutive year, our live, in-person EVent will be hosted by the Miller Public Library on Saturday, 25 September, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Experienced EV owners will display their EVs and will discuss why they are enthusiastic about their all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and how they use them on their daily commutes and long-distance drives, as well as how they charge the cars’ batteries. Local car dealers will also be on hand to display their newest EV models and to offer test drives. New this year: E-bikes and e-mopeds will be on display and available for test rides!
Owners of EVs and plug-In hybrid vehicles are encouraged to register for this live event and to bring their vehicles for all or part of the event. Start by clicking on the "Participate" button above. We encourage attendees (those who are new to EVs) to register for this event by clicking on the “RSVP” button above; you will receive updates prior to the day of the event.
Attendees will learn about the differences between electric vehicles and conventional gas-powered cars (including why EVs are much less expensive to operate and maintain), the widespread locations and different types of charging stations, the wide range of EV models available now and the much wider range of EVs to be released in the near future. The event will also highlight the benefits of electric vehicles for the environment and for public health.
Attendees will receive informational handouts and will also learn about special savings programs for Connecticut EV drivers, including state rebates and federal tax credits, for purchasing and leasing electric vehicles. Information about great deals on used EVs will also be available.
We are following the CDC and Town of Hamden guidelines for ensuring the safety of our staff, participants and attendees by asking all to wear a mask and/or maintain a six-foot distance from each other during the event.

Stop New England's Greenwashing of Mega Dam Hydropower
Stop New England's Greenwashing of Mega Dam Hydropower
September 29, 2021 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Did you know that part of Massachusetts’ renewable energy contracts include electricity generated from Canadian hydropower? This energy, sourced from megadams that violate indigenous rights, destroy ecosystems, and release greenhouse gases, would be brought from Quebec through a transmission corridor running through Maine, that would cut through hundreds of miles of carbon-capturing forests and the ancestral territories of indigenous communities. This corridor, commonly known as the CMP corridor or New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC), is not a climate justice solution and hydropower is not the clean energy that it has been marketed as. Learn more about this regional and international issue, and what you can do as New England residents to take action and stand up for climate justice by attending this educational event.
Speakers will include Carlton Richards, a youth from the Cree community of Pimicikamak, where hydropower development by Manitoba Hydro has destroyed over 50,000 square miles of rivers, streams, and forests; Melissa Ferretti, Chairlady and President of the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe, that has called on Governor Baker of Massachusetts and Governor Mills of Maine to reject Canadian hydroelectricity imports and NECEC; and more frontline voices. This event is co-hosted by 350 Maine, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, the North American Megadam Resistance Alliance, and Sierra Club Maine. It is supported by 350 Central Massachusetts, Community Water Justice, the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe, Patagonia Freeport, Renew New England, Sunrise Bates, Sunrise Franklin County, Sunrise Worcester, and the United American Indians of New England (UAINE).
Co-Hosts: 350 Maine, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, North America Megadam Resistance Alliance, and Sierra Club Maine.
