Actions for the week of April 14, 2025
Greetings, Activists,
With Earth Day on the horizon here is April’s roundup of actions you can take to protect our communities and planet!
Action 1
🛠️🏡🔌 Make the GAP Fund a Budget Priority!
New York is undergoing a massive renewable energy transition, and with that transition comes the opportunity to upgrade, weatherize, and electrify homes and buildings.
Send an email to your Assemblymember, State Senator and Governor Hochul, asking them to co-sponsor and support the GAP Fund to help ensure that historically-marginalized and excluded groups can access all of the benefits of a clean energy transition, including an efficient, healthy home with affordable heating and cooling.
Action 2
🤑🔥✋ Tell NY Legislators: Support the Insure Our Communities Act
The insurance industry has been raising prices on homeowners everywhere, including in New York. Even as insurance companies raise prices and cut the areas they cover, they continue to insure the very fossil fuel projects that are driving climate change.
Email your NY representatives and tell them to co-sponsor and Pass the Insure Our Communities Act (S186/A.3842) to stop insurance companies from pricing us out of our homes!
Action 3
🌎🪧✊ March to protect Migrants and the Planet
📆 Saturday, April 19 • 12:00 pm Eastern
📍 Bryant Park • Map
Join the Summer Of Heat this Earth Day to send a clear message: Our NYC Mayor must stand up to Trump, protect migrants, and fight for our planet. Together, we can build a New York that works for all of us—not for the tech and the Big Oil elite.
New Yorkers won’t back down. We need a Mayor who won’t either.
