John,
Exciting news! The New York State governor and legislature have reach a deal that would be the most far-reaching and ambitious ban on gas hook-ups statewide in new buildings starting in 2026! The first state in the country to do so.
Because of thousands of committed people like you across the country, we’ve achieved another tremendous victory for the movement against fossil fuels.

This new law sets an example for the rest of the country so more communities, states, and local governments can fight back against Big Oil and work to build a more livable future for all. Your support of Food & Water Watch made this victory possible.

This win is just the latest in a decade-long series of advances in New York. In 2014, our movement won a historic victory by banning fracking in New York. Since then, together, we’ve stopped a series of proposals for dirty power plants, pipelines, and other fracked gas infrastructure.
Less than two years ago, we banned gas hookups in new buildings in New York City, and now we celebrate another triumph by banning gas hookups in all new small buildings statewide by 2026 (in 2029 for larger buildings). It’s another powerful blow against the fossil fuel industry. And another hard-fought victory that was won because of our incredible allies and you.
But, that’s not all, we also won on legislation that would greatly expand the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA – the state’s biggest public utility) ability to build new renewable energy generation!
As we celebrate these victories in New York, we have more work to do to move the country off fossil fuels. We’ll carry this momentum into urgent fights against fossil fuel pipelines, power plants, and drilling across the country, from New Jersey to California. Together we can move the country off fossil fuels and usher in a renewable energy future.
Your commitment and support ensure we’ll never stop pushing back against greedy corporations and the government agencies that enable them. Corporations may have the money, but we know people power makes real change. And that’s why we won today in New York.
