Community coalition protecting an Indigenous heritage site & the last waterfront forest on the Hudson in Troy. — #Save1011

[Friends Of The Mahicantuck @Mahicantuck]

We filed Article 78 proceedings against @TroyCityCouncil. We ask the courts to nullify the rezone and environmental review decisions that would lead to the destruction of the 5000yo Indigenous cultural site at Troy's last Hudson River forest. Full release: https://t.co/36xXMbMI4P

Today’s high temperatures and humidity means an increased risk for heat-related illness.

Be aware of the signs:
➡️ Headache
➡️ Light-headedness
➡️ Muscle cramps
➡️ Nausea & vomiting

Remember to reduce outdoor activity, drink plenty of water, and check on your neighbors.

Thabks to @riverkeeper for their amazing work over the years. From commu city training to connecting us with @PaceEnvClinic - your work has been transformative for our community!

But most important are the communities that came together to protect this forest. From Neighbors and members of Indigenous Communities to environmental justice advocates, scientists: the people who keep showing up, speaking up, writing about this are the protectors of this forest

Last year we submitted a coalition letter including many of the amazing local organizations in Troy, the region and statewide. See: https://t.co/KeEDCRzuS6

BREAKING: @NYSDEC has denied Greenidge Generation’s application to renew its Title V air permit as inconsistent with the state’s climate law. Burning fossil fuels to power crypto mining tripled facility emissions.

New York continues to lead on climate.

Are they gaslighting the @TroyCityCouncil ?
Are they gaslighting us?

What they ask for: P (max 80 units)
What they want to do: 231 units
What they mean: R4 "Urban Neighborhood".

Say what you mean, not what you want to make us believe. Don't gaslight us.

[Friends Of The Mahicantuck @Mahicantuck]

Allowable under the requested new zoning code: 80 units.
Planned to be built by the developer: 231 units.

@TroyCityHall - the project at #save1011 is not allowable under your own zoning code. Why is this still being pursued?

[Friends Of The Mahicantuck @Mahicantuck]

Troy City Council will hold a workshop in the 1011 project on Tuesday, Feb 15, 6pm. This project plans to pave over a 5000 year old #INDIGENOUS cultural site that is National Register eligible. @Interior @DebHaalandNM @IENearth

Climate change cannot be ignored and is impacting our coastal communities daily. @FEMA needs to take those projections into account to protect those families and ways of life. We’re here to #FloodFEMA with solutions. @AnthropoceneAL @NRDC
