Yes, click here to download a one-page PDF of a press release you are welcome to share with members of the media. I'll soon have an additional press packet that will include photos and other resources appropriate for press.
My name is Corey Pudhorodsky, and while I haven't been a lifelong climate activist, I've always considered myself to be an environmentalist and someone who is rooted in understanding how important it is to protect the balance of our planet's climate while striving to help all humans achieve their full potential.
I'm a father of two with my life partner and spouse, Katie. I've worked in purpose and mission driven tech most of my career working with nonprofits, political campaigns, schools, and climate tech companies.
I'm planning on the demonstration being in public on and around the public grounds of the Texas State Capital in Austin, TX where I live. I'll share more details on where you can find and join me soon.
I'll start on my birthday on Sept 4, 2025. I will be demonstrating for 50 hours so I expect to finish on Saturday Sept 6, 2025. I'm working out the details and exact times as I research the ordinances, logistics, and recommendations from people with more experience completing long duration demonstrations. Check back here or contact me if you'd like to be kept up to date.
I wanted to do something more meaningful than a party or a trip and I've been increasingly concerned about how climate facts are being stripped from government websites in the United States and the general misunderstanding that the public has about the facts of climate change. I enjoy challenging myself and this is a chance to do something productive while engaging with my community and people close to me.
