Queer In America Panel Discussion Navigating the Political Landscape ?With the opening remarks by Council Member Ritchie Torres While strides in equality are reversed , and LGBTQIA + Americans find themselves at greater risk with fewer protections, hate groups emboldened by political groups are growing in strength. It is time to take action. What does this mean? How do we mobilize? What outcome do we want?

[UrbanStudiesCircular] NYPIRG Voter Helpline

27 Oct '20

Hello All, Please read below! ?With all of the uncertainty college students have felt since COVID-19, one thing we want to make sure goes well is voting in the upcoming Presidential election. NYPIRG has run a non-partisan voter helpline during elections for many years -- and we're doing it again. This year, NYPIRG will be focusing our voter helpline services on college students, many of whom will be first-time voters. NYPIRG's Student Voter Helpline will run from 6am-9pm on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd. Student voters just have to call our Helpline at (212) 822-0282 and trained professionals and lawyers will help answer questions about where their poll site is, their voter eligibility, what to expect at the polls, or what to do if their right to vote is challenged. We will also be offering virtual Voter Office Hours over Zoom during the early voting period for one hour a day (similar to our successful virtual Voter Registration Office Hours we ran weekly ahead of the voter registration deadline). In the coming days, we will be following up with a promotional packet for the Early Voting Office Hours and Student Voter Helpline. Would you be able to share information about this service with Queens College faculty and students? Thank you again for your continued support, we are excited to work with you again on such a worthy initiative.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] NYPIRG 10/15 Environmental Event Feat. NYAG Letitia James Invitation

Hello All, This email is sent on behalf of NYPIRG please read below. ?"I hope that you are doing well! I wanted to reach out to inform you and your students about NYPIRG's Make Polluters Pay event, which will be held via Zoom on Thursday, October 15th at 4pm! Would you be able to post the following message for your students who may be interested in joining? ANNOUNCEMENT: Our Make Polluters Pay event<http://bit.ly/3kLPjis> will feature a keynote address from NYS Attorney General, Letitia James!! On Thursday, October 15th at 4pm, NYPIRG, along with NYRenews and the NY Youth Climate Leaders, will host New York State Attorney General Letitia James to talk about how we must make polluters pay! For decades, the fossil fuel industry and others have lied about their role in causing the climate crisis and in polluting New York's air and water. As New York looks to clean up this pollution, protect our natural resources and combat climate change, it should be polluters footing the bill. Join us during this digital assembly of the people to learn how we can hold corporate polluters responsible for their actions -- through the legal system, through policy, and through organizing. Please sign up fast as space is limited at this link: http://bit.ly/3kLPjis. Thank you again for working with us this semester, and please let me know if you have any questions". -- Cecilia Ellis Nadine Pratt Project Coordinators NYPIRG at Queens College 718-997-3954 queens(a)nypirg.org SU LL-36 nypirgstudents.org<http://nypirgstudents.org/> [https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1pyQnaYWPPR1HwnS3yZ_V2jOmRL3O…] TAKE ACTION.
