We’re looking for low-income households that would like access to solar energy. The Facing the Future workgroup has partnered with Solar One to promote community solar. Community solar subscribers get credit on their Con Ed bills for the electricity produced by solar arrays elsewhere. Are you in a low-income household or know someone who is? Here’s the information to get started in English and in Spanish. Spread the word!
Your Community Board needs you! Bring climate action to your local neighborhood
Want to make a difference in your own neighborhood? Become a member of your local Community Board and ensure that concerns about the impact of a heating climate and about climate solutions are part of the conversation. Community Boards bring the concerns of their neighborhoods to city agencies, elected officials, and other local leaders. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso has noted that few Community Boards focus on climate or environmental concerns and he is interested in appointing people who can express those concerns. Learn more here. Applications are due by 11pm on February 6, 2026.
FROM OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES
Stop Data Centers Now! FW&W Campaign Launch 2/3
Tuesday, February 3 • 8:00 pm – virtual
The rapid expansion of data centers across the United States, driven by the AI and crypto boom, is one of the biggest environmental and social challenges of our generation. They are exponentially increasing demand for energy and fossil fuel pollution, while at the same time straining our water resources, polluting communities and raising electricity prices across the country. You will hear from Zephyr Teachout on corporate consolidation in Big Tech, and from Food & Water Watch’s research team, who will preview some new research on data centers. Register here to learn about this new campaign.
Hands Off NYC, and more locally, Indivisible Brooklyn are organizations that have responded to ICE’s gestapo tactics in NYC by leading trainings on Deportation Defense, creating neighborhood Signal groups to track ICE actions and organizing marches and rallies in support of the brave citizens of Minnesota. Check out their websites to learn more about the many ways you can get involved, protect our communities and prepare for an intensification of ICE actions in NYC.

Support the Sugar Maple Solar Project!
Governor Kathy Hochul and New York’s energy regulators are considering the Sugar Maple Solar Project, a 125-megawatt solar facility that includes 20 megawatts of energy storage capacity, proposed in the North Country. With New York 6 years behind on its 2030 climate targets, we need to scale up on clean energy projects quickly. Supporting Sugar Maple Solar will demonstrate that reliable clean energy is a priority for New Yorkers. These comments are open to all residents of New York State. Make your voice heard and support renewable energy by submitting a comment here – personalized comments are especially effective!
