yes i’ll put my body on the line— and i’d do it again and again. no pipelines on stolen land and absolutely no new fossil fuel infrastructure when we’re living deep in a climate crisis
the climate crisis, wild fires and millions of vulnerable people subject to this kind of air quality is what keeps me up at night. #ClimateActionNow pls be sure to join @sixthstreetcc at the Blasian March for Climate Justice 6/11 2pm Cadman plaza
sad to see yet another formerly rent stabilized loft fall through the cracks. this unit is in williamsburg’s historic mill building and was protected at $165/month

Last week, we won #BuildPublicRenewables! After a four year campaign, this marks the beginning of a #GreenNewDeal for New York.
But what does it actually do? And what does this mean for the future of the climate fight? Look no further than our guide to what we won with BPRA.🧵
an incredible moment @sixthstreetcc this afternoon: a teen from our teen climate justice program walks in and sees @guardian@grist articles we have out and he immediately asks “wow, omggg it passed?!” referring to the Build Public Renewables Act! YES IT PASSED!🥲 @publicpowerny
"a victory not just for climate activists in general but for the specific organziers who refused to give up on this policy. It is likely to be considered proof of concept for battles in other states"
We meant it when we said #BuildPublicRenewables is the Green New Deal model
Let’s be clear: the proposed shift to NY’s climate law is driven by fossil fuel interests to protect their profits in the face of a changing climate. New Yorkers overwhelmingly support the Climate Act—it’s the fossil fuel industry trying to dismantle it. https://t.co/37hubHmx2E
I remember using subway tokens as a kid & have lived through so many subway fare hikes! @MTA now wants to raise the subway fare to $3… meanwhile this brown goop oozing out of my station walls has been haunting me for 15 years. if only fare hikes reflected infrastructure upgrades
@t_NYC @illapa4NY @t_NYC can you choose kindness & understanding? @illapa4NY is a human (not a rich robot like other candidates). He’s allowed to take a moment to heal from toxic BS. imagine working FT as a social worker & working FT on a campaign? i was a vol, and i know he appreciates us deeply!
"The election of @sarahana shows that New Yorkers want climate action. Our #GreenNewYork slate is ready to lead the way. Are @GovKathyHochul and @CarlHeastie ready too?"

So fun fact, the volunteer activist who while a member of our coalition designed all our logos, graphics, and website in addition to organizing for #PublicPower
Well, last night she became an Assemblymember!
Congratulations @sarahana! Now let’s pass #BuildPublicRenewables
