A large
fossil fuel company — NRG Energy — is attempting to build a fracked gas
power plant in the heart of AOC’s district.

Their current power plant is so dirty that the state is forcing it to shut
down by 2023. But the company wants to replace it with an option that will
continue to pollute our community and climate just the same — instead of
with a renewable energy option.

Before this proposal moves forward, the state is considering public
comments this week. So for the past several months, our organizing team
has been knocking on doors, making calls, and tabling throughout the
district to educate our neighbors on ways they can make their voices heard
against the NRG power plant.

elections. If you’re able to, can you make a $3
contribution today to power our work this week fighting for a cleaner,
safer future for generations to come?

Western Queens is already subject to high levels of air pollution from
highways and the existing power plant — Astoria has long been known as
“Asthma Alley.”

Not only can our climate not bear more fossil fuels, placing more sources
of pollution in frontline neighborhoods that already bear the brunt of
poor air quality is an environmental injustice. Your zip code shouldn’t
determine your health outcomes.

This power plant would further poison our community’s air and worsen the
climate crisis, but New York’s new Governor, Kathy Hochul, and the
Department of Environmental Conservation have the authority to stop this
proposal.

worsen the climate crisis. If you’re able, can you please chip in
$3 or anything you can to power our outreach campaign and
organize against fossil-fuel interests?

Thank you,

Team AOC
