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?

NYC 3K-12 students, teachers, parents, and school staff deserve safe and healthy workplaces, and Climate Works for All is calling on Mayor Adams to invest in students, teachers, and staff by funding Green, Healthy Schools so all students can breathe clean air and attend school safely — regardless of zip code. 

In solidarity,

Theodore A. Moore 
Executive Director
