We fought for new climate laws
- We championed the NY Heat Act to curb the expansion of gas infrastructure, lower our utility rates and bolster a green economy
- We won on congestion pricing that will reduce gridlock traffic, improve air quality and raise revenue for NYC’s public transit system
- We’re still pushing through the Climate Superfund Act that would hold fossil fuel companies responsible for environmental harms caused by their greenhouse emissions
We pushed our Brooklyn electeds on climate
- We made 17 lobby visits to local Brooklyn Assembly Members and State Senators
- We participated in 13 statewide call relays, 7 Albany visits, and supported 8 local NYC rallies, including marshaling
- Our Power Hour Crew made hundreds of calls, written testimony, emails and comments
We fought against fossil fuel financing
- We participated in 12 weeks of Summer of Heat action focused on Citibank
- We organized and executed two major actions against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline
We launched new projects!
- We started a new work group called Renewable Brooklyn College with the goal to organize community support for turning Brooklyn College into a renewable energy hub that can reduce emissions, relieve the neighborhood’s overstretched power grid, and serve as a pilot for broader decarbonization efforts
- We launched our new Arts, Ideas, Events committee and then…
- Brought the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to the 2024 Mermaid Parade in Coney Island
We educated and we learned
- Climate Check: Stories and Solutions, our monthly podcast, produced another 9 cutting-edge podcasts on topics from to plastic waste to teaching climate justice
