John,

FIRST: Governor Kathy Hochul “indefinitely paused” congestion pricing set to go into effect in New York City on June 30 — single-handedly depriving our city of cleaner air and safer streets, and creating a $15 billion hole in the MTA’s capital plan.

NEXT: Straphangers, environmentalists, New Yorkers with disabilities, and people who want clean air and good government reacted with fury. We need the 2nd Ave subway extension, modern signals so our trains run on time, and long-overdue elevators in hundreds of stations. A delay or potential cancellation is unacceptable.

THEN: Alongside a coalition of advocates, MTA board members, and legal experts, Brad announced a plan to explore every legal avenue available to reverse Governor Hochul’s disastrous decision and implement congestion pricing in New York City.

NOW: Utilizing New York’s Freedom of Information Law, Brad just requested records about congestion pricing communications from the governor’s office — because New Yorkers deserve to know how Governor Hochul reached her abrupt decision.

Congestion pricing isn’t just good transit and climate policy. It’s the law of New York State.

No one individual — including Governor Hochul — has the unilateral authority to overturn a state law. Her decision to pause congestion pricing wasn’t just hasty, it was beyond her authority, and Brad is taking action.

It’s moments like this one when we need leaders like Brad to step up to the plate and help hold our government accountable — especially when it comes to the issues that affect New Yorkers every day. Will you rush a donation of any amount to help Brad keep up the work fighting for what’s right for our city?
