Hi everyone!
Just one final diary about the People's Climate March and our subsequent meetup. Lots of people blogging about the march now, you can check out our very own UN Climate Summit diaries, or the latest C!U!A! diary for more info.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO MARCH WITH THE DKOS GROUP:
NYC Kossacks Meet-up Location for The People’s Climate March -
The Daily Kos contingent will be assembling at 69th Street and Central Park West starting at 9:30 am. Look for the white and orange Daily Kos “Connect! Unite! Act!” banner, and people (me, at least, and you, too, we hope) wearing orange. Entry to Central Park West will be restricted that day, and the closest entrance to our assembly point will be at 72nd St. Please try to arrive no later than 10:30 am if possible – we expect Central Park West to get quite crowded, and it may get difficult to find each other.
If you are bringing a sign or poster, you should know that wooden and metal carrying sticks are not allowed. Cardboard tubing and string are OK. Other items you might want to bring: some food and water, and sunscreen. The weather forecast is sunny with a high of 80.
IMPORTANT: please note the following subway service changes for this weekend:
The southbound A and C trains will be skipping the following stops: 116, 110, 103, 96, 86, 81, and 72 Sts. All these stops are on Central Park West. Northbound trains will make all stops. As an alternative, the 1,2,and 3 trains on Broadway will have normal service in Manhattan.
Weekend travel around NYC can be challenging without a major event thrown into the mix. Please factor rerouting, blocked streets and subway shenanigans into your travel time!!
After the march you are invited to join us for a post-march meetup at our favorite haunt, Spitzer's Corner, in the good ole Lower East Side of Manhattan. Our RSVP list is hotting up, so please indicate in the comments or kosmail me if you intend to come to Spitzer's, and if you'll be bringing any guests. Not only will many of our NYC regulars be in attendance, we will also be joined by our very own boatsie! Good times!!! Details below...
