Dear friend,
The New York Legislature has announced its proposal for the New York State Budget. As negotiations with the Governor continue, we need to show our elected officials that now is the time to KICK FOSSIL FUELS OUT OF BUILDINGS!
In the past month, the fossil fuel industry has ramped up its disinformation campaign, but we know the truth.
These vital new laws will save New Yorkers money, fight childhood asthma, create jobs in clean energy, and slash climate emissions:
-
All-Electric Building Act (S562A|A920A)
-
NY Home Energy Affordable Transition Act (S2016|A4592)
-
Energy Efficiency, Equity, and Jobs Act (S2469|A2655)
Join us Wednesday, March 15 (tonight) at 7pm for a briefing and training to get ready to LINE THE HALLS in Albany on March 22nd to make sure they see us and hear us!
Then, sign up to get on a bus to Albany (buses from Brooklyn, Manhattan, Cortland/Syracuse or join a carpool) for the March 22 DAY OF ACTION: Line the Halls of Albany.
Thank you to everyone who has sent a letter (send one now!), made a telephone call, attended a rally, attended a meeting with a legislator, facilitated submission of a support memo from your organization (106 groups and counting!), or shared posts about our efforts on social media this year! We would not have gotten this far without you!
Please join us tonight and next week; it’s time to activate our networks and kick fossil fuels out of our buildings!
Participating organizations:
Alliance for a Green Economy, American Institute of Architects New York, Earthjustice, Food & Water Watch, Frack Action, New York Communities for Change, New Yorkers for Clean Power, NYPIRG, Renewable Heat Now, Rewiring America, Sane Energy Project, Sierra Club, WE ACT for Environmental Justice
