Shut the Fossils Up is a new social media campaign that aims to spotlight leaders in the oil and gas industry who are trying to slow implementation of New York’s nation-leading climate law. Marc Weiss, co-Founder and steering committee member of NY Renews, a statewide multi-sector coalition of almost 400 groups working to transition New York State to a fossil-free economy, and Rahwa Ghirmatzion, former executive director of PUSH Buffalo, and currently senior policy fellow at Just Solutions Collective, which identifies and promotes just solutions to climate change from a BIPOC perspective, break down their campaign and how they're using humor to call out actions that could derail the climate law.
