Sunday Gathering: Project Drawdown Explained
Sun, Nov 22, 4:00 PMThis talk by [Susan Golden](https://www.sgoldeneducation.com/) will be an introduction to [Project Drawdown](https://drawdown.org/), an independent nonprofit organization driving bold, science-based climate action. Drawdown’s mission is to advance science-based climate solutions and strategies around the world through systems change, individual actions, business leadership, philanthropy, and more. To accomplish this, they developed a terrific website where they incorporate several methods to promote change, including video lessons, a digital explorer to investigate the impacts of different solutions, and storytelling to share successes. We will take a quick tour of their website to help us learn about our best options and take local actions to mitigate global warming. This Gathering is at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email [admin@ethicalfocus.org](mailto:admin@ethicalfocus.org) by noon on Friday.

Helping the homeless to get off the streets this winter
Sat, Oct 31, 11:00 PMHello all, https://bowery.volunteerhub.com/vv2/ I was extremely saddened by this weekend's brutal killing of 4 homeless people in lower manhattan. I have contacted the Bowery mission to help and see what we can do as a community to provide food and shelter for the homeless. This is an endless effort. I encourage you all to helpout whenever, and whatever you have to get them off the streets, and to clean up the shelter and talk to the government to get programs incentives to allow landlords to use up their vacant space, even if its a few months for the winter. Many of you do not know that homeless people choose to be outside, because they don't feel safe in shelters. Or because of their illness that they do not want contact with people or helping themselves. Bowery mission helps manhattan folks - with shelter/ food/ clothing. Please help 1 at a time. IF you have other resourses to share or events to share, Please POST! Thanks all. Lisa, Thank you for reaching out. We were also stunned and heartbroken by this horrific attack. I truly admire the work that you do—I think the events of this weekend present a call for all of NYC’s nonprofits that deal with homelessness and its tangential issues to work together and form a unified front, so I am grateful for your interest and passion. I encourage you to check out our volunteer site and please reach out with any questions or if this is not what you are looking for. If you are looking for something more specific, I’m happy to jump on a call. Let me know what makes the most sense. Thank you—hope you had a nice weekend. All the best, Eli Eli Parker-Burgard Development Officer cid:image002.jpg@01D3CC39.0ED1F7C0 The Bowery Mission Administrative Headquarters 432 Park Avenue South, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016 (O) 646.435.1103 www.bowery.org Connect with us: @BoweryMission Transform a life: bowery.org/donate
