Dear John, New York City K-12 students deserve safe and healthy schools. Teachers and school staff deserve safe and healthy workplaces. The climate crisis and decades of disinvestment are already wreaking havoc on NYC public schools and nearly 1 million students and their caregivers –– a vast majority of whom are people of color and lower-income. On Tuesday, December 5th at 3:30 PM, students, parents, teachers, unions and community organizations are joining the Climate Works for All coalition to launch the #GreenHealthySchools campaign. |

We’re calling on Mayor Adams to invest in our students, teachers, and staff by funding green, healthy, safe, and comfortable schools to learn and grow up in—regardless of zip code. New York City's school buildings alone account for nearly 20% of the city's emissions. Right now, schools rely on dirty fossil fuels to power and heat classrooms, and our 100-year-old infrastructure desperately needs repairs and upgrades. We’re fighting for Green, Healthy Schools so all students can breathe clean air and attend school safely. |
