Sean Dague, Speaker
Sean Dague is a volunteer with Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a grassroots climate advocacy organization that exists to create the political will for climate solutions, and by enabling individual breakthroughs in the exercise of personal and political power. He is one of the leaders of the Mid Hudson Chapter of CCL, as well as active in the NY State Action team, and a NY State Coordinator. In those roles he’s given dozens of climate presentations, and lobbied members of congress and NY State reps on over 40 occasions, pushing for climate solutions.
He’s excited about how much better a clean energy future will be after his experience converting his home in the town of Lagrange to geothermal heating and cool.
THIS WEDNESDAY @ 7 PM!
Saturday 4/26 @ 7 PM! Seth David Branitz plays live music!
Join us for the closing reception of this month’s installations, featuring a live performance by Spotlight artist and songwriter, Seth David Branitz.
A pioneer of the East Village’s 1990s anti-folk scene, Seth brings his signature blend of confessional story-songs to the stage—touching on romance, humor, and the many shades of suffering and relief. With five albums under his belt, his original songs and sharp observations promise a memorable evening.
Come for the art, stay for the music—and maybe adopt a cat painting or two.
Got2Lindy SWING DANCE CLASSES every Tuesday night at ASK from 6 – 9 PM!
