@GovKathyHochul included key provisions of the NY HEAT Act in her executive budget proposal. So, how much would New Yorker's save if the *full* NY HEAT Act was passed--including the cap on utility bills the Governor left out? Let's talk about it...
We've had some real climate wins this session, but it's not enough. @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins, we need real grassroots-led climate and EJ solutions now--pass the Climate and Community Protection Fund (CCPF) & #NYHEAT this session! #ClimateJobsJustice
Join us on Thursday, May 25th at Bryant Park at 4pm to call for the full passage of the #ClimateJobsJustice Package THIS legislative session. Let’s get loud for climate justice! https://t.co/APYg0E2uNM
Almost 4 years after the passage of NY’s Climate Act, we’re still not getting real climate justice investments. The #ClimateJobsJustice Package needs to be in this year's budget--NY's communities can't wait another year. @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins@GovKathyHochul
🚨Climate talks are underway in NYS budget negotiations! NY Renews’ 350+ member orgs have been throwing down for #ClimateJobsJustice with thousands of emails, countless calls, 3 mass mobilizations, and more.
@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul
🧵Here's what we need:
.@NYRenews is leading the charge for a more equitable, just climate future. We're proud to stand with our coalition partners to support the #ClimateJobsJustice Package. We need good, union jobs and a healthy environment for all NYers! @GovKathyHochul@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie
New video alert 🔥! The #ClimateJobsJustice Package isn’t just about creating good, union jobs and clean energy; it's about building a more resilient and equitable NY. Let’s build a better future for all New Yorkers @GovKathyHochul@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie.
Here’s the bottom line on Cap & Invest: this system can’t be equitable without guardrails to ensure environmental justice, and the Climate & Community Protection Fund (CCPF) to direct $$. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/V6HyacbsJf
.@GovKathyHochul’s effort to weaken NY's Climate Law failed, thanks to the climate movement's swift, collective response! This is a major victory, but we can’t stop here. @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins, we need to include #ClimateJobsJustice in the final budget!
1/ @GovKathyHochul, sounds like you’re worried about energy costs. Here are some real ways you can help keep energy bills low for working-class New Yorkers without dismantling our state’s Climate Act 🧵
.@GovKathyHochul, S6030/A6039 would gut NY's climate justice goals & protect the fossil fuel industry that has created this crisis. It's essential we pass the #ClimateJobsJustice package to protect and uphold NY’s Climate Act! #FossilFueledHochul
@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie, Please reject the rollback of NY’s landmark Climate Act! Bill # S6030/A6039 would gut NY's climate trajectory by changing how NY accounts for methane emissions. The future of our nation-leading Climate Act is at stake. Kill the bill!
Yesterday 400+ NYers came to Albany calling for climate action. NYers across the state are already feeling the repercussions of the climate crisis, which hits marginalized communities first and worst.@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie will you include #ClimateJobsJustice in the budget?
NY Renews advocates here in Albany today to push package of climate legislation in the state budget.
They want some major limits on an economywide emissions cap and auction system, specific funding plan, several other provisions.
We gathered with hundreds of people outside Governor Hochul’s office where budget negotiations are going on. We heard stories from @sixthstreetcc about how young people in NY and around the world demand climate action now!
Today RGers are with @NYRenews and @TREEage_Team at the NY State Capitol to make sure this year’s budget proposal funds key components of the #ClimateJobsJustice package.
@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie, it’s time to get off the fence and deliver on the $10 billion package!
400+ NYers are in Albany today calling for #ClimateJobsJustice! We’re here to:
💲Fund NY’s Climate Act
🔋Build renewable energy for all
👷🏾Create union jobs
✊🏾✊🏻Make polluters pay
@KathyHochul @CarlHeastie, get off the fence! The Senate has us – do you?
🧵 of today!
The #ClimateJobsJustice Package (CJJP) would enable NY to transition to affordable, renewable energy—all while ensuring a just transition for workers & prioritizing frontline communities. @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul, NYers need the CJJP in the 2023 budget.
New report shows that the #BuildPublicRenewables Act is essential for a just transition-- NY’s #PublicPower authority could be fossil-free by 2030. We need the full BPRA in the final budget, not BPRA light @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie #ClimateJobsJustice https://t.co/y6m8Ic0cWu
Low-income BIPOC NYers face the worst of the climate crisis--the Climate and Community Protection Fund would combat this injustice. Thank you for including this critical legislation in the Senate budget @AndreaSCousins@SenGianaris. Let’s make it law! #ClimateJobsJustice
