@CarlHeastie you know what the correct choice. Come through for our Frontline communities and come through for our generation! Passe the #BuildPublicRenewables Act!
"Earlier this week, Germany announced that they're taking the same action, banning fossil fuels in new homes nationwide by 2024. They’re doing this...in part inspired by the Draft Implementation Plan of the NY Climate Action Council." – @howarth_cornell
#AllElectricBuildingAct
It's still been three years since our state has passed any climate legislation.
On Thursday, if we don't pass #BuildPublicRenewables, New York will have failed.
It's why we got on a bus to Albany at 6am today with dozens of @publicpowerny members to fight for our futures.
New Yorkers want a clean, electric future & to end fossil fuel handouts @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins must lead:
💯 Require all-electric new buildings
👏 End subsidies for new gas hookups
💚 Make an equitable transition for utilities #RenewableHeatNow
Powerful inertia develops when a society has been doing the same, harmful thing for too long. But we can push through that to lead healthier lives, and we've done it before. @ssteingraber1
Pass the All Electric Building act now. @CarlHeastie @KathyHochul#heatpumpsnotpipelines
I walked out to get coffee and ran into 3 people I know who each told me about the friends facing massive rent hikes ( > $400 month.) This happens to me every day. 92K are homeless and this is fully untenable … 1/4
Do not underestimate the political power of being annoying. I worked for years in politics and government and I was very often the guy who answered the phone. There were a few people who would call ever single day to make or check in on their case, and if they weren’t
Folks are talking about police a bunch, and that's something I might actually be able to provide context for.
Police are never, and will never be, required to endanger themselves in any way for any reason. This has been litigated thoroughly.
Today’s the day: It’s the runoff election between @JCisnerosTX and Henry Cuellar, the last anti-abortion Democrat in the House of Representatives. https://t.co/YCpqko93zZ
Walking around my old college campus, it’s so apparent that much of the longing that adults feel for their college days is because it was the only time in their lives when they lived in close knit, walkable communities, saw friends everyday, rarely got into cars
The fact that a large portion of the population sees mask mandates as a restriction, rather than as a tool to keep people (including themselves) safe is just a reminder of how poorly the messaging on Covid has been from the jump. It has only worsened.
