Mondays, 12 - 1 pm
For the month of December we will be teaming up with Climate Changemakers to lock in climate progress at the federal level, focusing on preventing build out of liquefied “natural” gas infrastructure.

First NY State climate action of the new year!
Time to get on the bus and join NYers from across the state in Albany to demand Hochul use the appropriation guidelines created by NY Renews to ensure Cap and Invest legislation funds a just transition. NY State will finally make polluters pay. With passage of the Kelles Bill A we will have a true Cap and Invest system that can pay for decarbonization and emissions reductions, with a minimum of 35% of the support going to climate justice communities.
