Zazie Beetz Instagram – And for episode three of Zazie Talks Climate, we are talking with Patrick Houston! This time we are focusing on HOW to engage in local politics. Not knowing who to call or what to say always stopped me in the past from actually doing anything- it’s simpler than you’d think! Patrick works for New York Communities for Change (NYCC): an organization that fights for racial and economic climate justice in the greater New York area. Their focus is to empower low income or underrepresented communities while challenging the corporate powers that loom over the city. This week, we will be donating to NYCC 🧡💙 A couple of details to keep in mind: 〰️ You can find your NYC local council person at council.nyc.gov/districts (I know, I know, links don’t work in the captions). Alternately, say you are from ANYWHERE else in the United States (as I’m sure most of you are- we won’t talk about New York again! I know it’s a big azz world), just type into your search engine “my [insert city or town] council member”, and info should readily pop up! 〰️ If you watch the episode today, you’ll know what I’m talking about here, but make sure to support Intro 1947 (the amendment to the dirty buildings bill)! 〰️ On Tuesday, September 22nd at 10am EST is the virtual rally for the pre-hearing of Intro 1947. Will leave the RSVP link in my bio till then. Y’all are dope, so keep shining 🧚🏽‍♀️✨ Follow NYCC @ny4change Music by @blkgrapefruit Produced by @davidrysdahl
