Actions for the week of June 16, 2025
Greetings, Activists!
Summer is almost here, and with it endless opportunities to stand up for the climate! Here are a few actions you can take to help our planet.
Action 1
🛑☠️🫷 New York Gov & PSC: Reject National Grid’s Fracked Gas Plan: Follow Climate Law, Invest in Communities
Governor Hochul’s utility regulators, the Public Service Commission (PSC), are supposed to protect the public and the environment from the overreach of big utility corporations. Yet, our utility bills continue to rise as we pay for unnecessary fracked gas projects that violate our laws.
The Public Service Commission is currently accepting public comments on National Grid’s Long-Term Gas Plan Proceeding. This is our chance to demand Climate Justice and call for the retirement of the gas system.
Action 2
🪓🙅🤝 Tell the U.S. Senate: Stop the Republican Attack on Nonprofits
The Republican-led House just passed a sweeping tax bill that includes a direct attack on the nonprofit sector—and now it’s headed to the Senate. This is our moment to fight back.
Buried in the bill are provisions that would divert billions away from charitable work. It slaps steep new taxes on foundations, punishes nonprofits for offering basic employee benefits, and tightens financial screws on organizations that serve our communities every day.
Send a letter urging the U.S. Senate to protect the nonprofit sector and its vital work serving vulnerable communities. Strip these harmful provisions from the bill before it’s too late!
Action 3
🗽🙋🙋🏽♀️ Call on Governor Hochul to Fund Climate to Protect Our Future!
New Yorkers are struggling with ever-rising energy bills, polluted air that makes us sick, and extreme heat, wildfires, storms, and floods that have devastated our communities.
An economy-wide cap-and-invest program was one of the core promises of our 2019 Climate Act and, in this time of political and climate chaos, there’s no more room for half-measures or delays in its implementation.
Call on Governor Hochul to release the full suite of draft regulations for New York’s cap-and-invest program to make corporations pay for their pollution and direct the funds this raises back to New York households to lower our energy bills, create good jobs, and clean our air to improve our health. Email your comments anytime before July 1 (here’s a handy guide on how to testify) or send this one-click email.
