ACTION GROUPS 

CLIMATE
The Rise and Resist Climate Action Group organizes and participates in direct action to raise awareness about the climate crisis and to demand change. Our focus has been to put pressure on banks and insurance companies to stop funding/insuring fossil fuel projects. We also work to support aggressive legislation at the city, state, and national levels to deal with the climate emergency. Solidarity among all age groups and across diverse communities is crucial in this fight, so we work in coalition with many other groups.

CLOSE RIKERS
Rikers Vigil: a once-a-month vigil, occurring on the first Monday of each month at 5pm, is currently held in the Times Square subway station on the concourse between the #1,2,3 and the Grand Central Shuttle.  The vigil protests the continued existence of the deadly prison on Rikers Island, where people who have not been convicted of a crime, are brutalized,neglected and allowed to die.

HEALTHCARE 
For at least the next two years (2025-6), we will be working to oppose the radical attacks by the Trump administration and their Congressional allies on federal healthcare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act designed to pay for large tax cuts for big corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
Meetings: T/B/D

IMMIGRATION 
The purpose of the group is to identify and organize actions that can defend immigrants - over and above our long-standing Immigration Vigil that takes place every two weeks on Thursdays at 5pm. Currently, we are making and distributing Know-Your-Rights business-size
cards to immigrants to help them refuse to cooperate with Immigration Authorities.
