MUST WATCH: Coverage of our #CommunitiesNotCages Mother's Day rally.

As your constituent, @BurdickAD93@ShelleyBMayer, I urge you to support Eliminate Mandatory Minimums (A.2036), Second Look (S.321/A.531) & Earned Time Act (S.774/A.1128). It's time to overhaul NY's racist and unjust sentencing laws. https://t.co/7lcHtZzkMr
NEW this morning: Lewis Pugh, a British endurance swimmer, plans to swim all 315 miles of the Hudson River to call attention to riparian recovery, and damage. Along the way, he'll deal with rapids, critters, and all manner of industrial nastiness.

@jessemckinley Determination and fortitude will guide you, but do you know about Holtec's plan to dump radioactive wastewater into the Hudson? Lots of NYers are opposing this. Would you stop in Croton or Peekskill to meet local residents? #HochulStopHoltec#HudsonSwim#SaveTheHudson

Got to see some of my favorite people today doing one of my favorite things:
Supporting @MondaireJones for Congress!
Here he is looking sharp with Cortland’s James (@jimcinny) Creighton.
My amazing NYS legislators @SenatorHarckham and @AMDanaLevenberg were also here for this inspiring event.
In June, the Legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill to protect the Hudson River from radioactive waste.
With Holtec planning to dump the waste this summer, @GovKathyHochul cannot delay signing it into law.

Please call Gov. Hochul to urge her to sign the Save the Hudson bill asap to stop Holtec from dumping radioactive wastewater from decommissioning of Indian Point into the Hudson River in late summer. URGENT! PLEASE CALL EVERY DAY! 866-696-8249 #hoculstopholtec#stopholtec
The Legislature passed the Save the Hudson bill.

The #CleanSlate movement's track record speaks for itself: political leaders across party lines have thrown their weight behind Clean Slate because they recognize the benefits of record relief for their constituents, their states, and our nation.
#PollinatorWeek raises awareness about pollinator importance. They're critical for our ecosystem, and that is why it was so important that we passed the Birds & Bees Protection Act this year to ban harmful neonicotinoid pesticides to help keep our pollinators healthy.
On June 29, @foodandwater is joining @NYPIRG, @nychange, @Earthjustice, and other allies to demand the closure of the Greenidge power plant in the Finger Lakes. No fracked gas for Bitcoin mining! https://t.co/h3N4PhUTBc
Earlier this year, our CEO shared why it benefits all of us to care about #secondchances for people living with records in her Newsweek piece “We All Deserve Redemption.”
Here’s three reasons why #secondchances are beneficial through #CleanSlate policies.
I released the following statement this morning to clarify the status of A7208, the bill that would prohibit radiological discharges into the Hudson in connection with nuclear power plant decommissioning. The bill did not come to a vote yesterday, but we will be returning to it.
