A major energy company is trying to build a dangerous gas-fired power
plant in Alexandria’s
district.

The proposed Astoria waterfront project would replace a 50-year-old
oil-burning turbine with a fracked gas power plant – maintaining our
reliance on fossil fuels while further degrading air quality in
neighborhoods already ridden with toxic fossil fuel power plants and
elevated levels of asthma.

Alexandria and eight of her fellow New York City congressional Democrats
sent a letter calling on Gov. Cuomo’s administration to stop the project,
but we need to do more.^1

The best way to stop the fossil fuel lobby and pass a Green New Deal is to
talk to voters, and get undecided people on our side. It’s how we win and
it’s why we’re asking you today:

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign up for a phone banking shift to help educate NY-14 voters
about this project and the Green New Deal? Every call helps build our
movement for climate justice.

We’re in special need of bilingual Spanish/English speakers to phone bank.
If you or someone you know is able to phone bank in Spanish, it would help
ensure we reach everyone in NY-14.

We’re up against powerful interests. NRG Energy has spent over $600,000 on
some of New York’s most powerful lobbying firms to get this project
approved.

That’s why it will take hundreds of volunteers stepping up to counter
their attacks and win from the grassroots.

New York must move off dirty fossil fuels. By law, New York must generate
70% of its electricity from renewable sources, like solar and wind power,
by 2030 and 100% from carbon-free sources by 2040.

In order to meet these targets, this site must be converted to renewable
energy immediately – such as a renewable energy storage battery hub or
other green energy production facility.

[ [link removed] ]We must act now to avoid further climate disaster. Join us for a
Saturday shift to talk one-on-one with NY-14 voters about the importance
of the Green New Deal.

Thank you for all you do,

Team AOC
