Actions for the week of January 20, 2025
Greetings, Activists!
Despite all the difficult news flooding our screens, let’s remember that there are ways to fight back and protect what we love most — especially when we fight together. These actions will help keep the focus on climate, care, and community as we kick off 2025.
Action 1
🔥🪧📣 Renewable Heat Now Albany Rally and Lobby Day
📆 Tuesday, February 4, 10:30 am — 4:00 pm
📍 NY State Legislative Office Building • 198 State St, Albany, NY • Map
As Governor Hochul fiddles on climate while storms flood and fires burn, we can do much more to protect our climate AND low income New Yorkers from climate injustice. Join Renewable Heat Now and allied groups to call on the NYS Legislature to pass the NY HEAT Act in the budget for cleaner heat and lower bills. Sign up here and get on the bus!
