Dear Friend,
New York City is ready for #GreenHealthySchools.
Students, teachers, parents, labor unions, environmental justice groups, and community advocates from the Climate Works for All coalition, along with local elected officials, launched a new campaign for Green, Healthy Schools with a rally at City Hall Park.
On the heels of Mayor Adam’s drastic cuts to public schools, the coalition is calling for a sustainable alternative to his austerity budget:
- To electrify and upgrade air quality and ventilation for 500 public school buildings by 2030, prioritizing schools in environmental justice communities,
- And to commit NYC’s Department of Education to become a zero emissions school district by 2040.
This is a huge milestone for our fight for green jobs, clean air, and healthy and safe NYC public schools. Will you support our campaign with a donation to ALIGN today?
