Howie Hawkins and Mark Dunlea, the Green Party candidates for Governor and State Comptroller, will give a free talk in Ithaca on Friday, July 27 on Climate Change, Green New Deal and Eco-Socialism.

The event will take place at 5:30 PM at the Tompkins County Workers’ Center, 115 The Commons, above the Autumn Leaves Used Books.

The Greens are calling for 100% clean energy by 2030 and a halt to any new fossil fuel infrastructure, including divesting the state pension funds from fossil fuels. The state presently has $6 billion invested in Exxon, Shell and other oil and gas companies that are driving climate change.
