Last yr I wrote this call to (climate) action 🌍

It aims to help college-educated young ppl realize smart ideas from prestigious institutions aren’t predestined to win w/o power; importantly, potentially, their power!

@PhillyMayor Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) should stop funding gas lobbies with Philly ratepayer dollars. Especially now, as the gas lobby eggs on Trump’s anti-climate clawbacks of federal funds for Philly. https://t.co/D6iDY0v6tv

Philly, show up on Feb 22 to support Zohran Mamdani. He's sharp, effective, and good ppl. A win in NYC would reverberate! https://t.co/wLNfBVFuFp

For those wondering (and texting/DMing):

Lander’s doing a big and important thing we want: ending nyc financing of oil/gas via private equity funds.

BUT it’s not the BIG THING nyc needs: help clean up Wall Street by moving NYC’s big money from dirtier to cleaner money managers.

Listen to POWER leaders stand up for Democracy and Climate Justice at Phila Gas Commission public hearing. PGW must allow Our Input for Our Energy Future. #PowerInterfaith #ClimateJustice #DontShutUsOut

[POWER Interfaith @powerinterfaith]

Did you know Philadelphia owns the largest public gas utility in the U.S., Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW)? Yet, despite being owned by the city and its residents, PGW lacks transparency on how it plans to transition from fossil fuels to meet Philly’s carbon neutrality goal.

Are PHL Gas Comm'rs & @PhillyMayor noting the discontent over PGC's absurd regulation to limit public intervention? @MyPGW -the gas utility-has no plan to meet the PHL's own 2050 net 0 goal! Public input on how we equitably get there must be spprtd, not lmtd. @DontShutUsOut🧵

[Patrick @PatrickHoos20]

@MyPGW 's own GHG Emissions Reduction Plan* reveals that PGW's annual GHG reduction goal = < 1% of PGW annual emissions. PGW is on track to blow thru Phila's 2050 net zero goal. + they've no plan to avoid increased costs for a shrinking rate base of dispropo LI folks. 3/4

[Patrick @PatrickHoos20]

Open, early, detailed public input on budget decisions is vital to ensure @MyPGW takes real axn address these gaping affordability & renewability issues. Phl Gas Comm'rs-mostly absent today-shld heed the changes to the reg, suggested in today's testimonies, incl. @CLSphila 's 4/4

@MyPGW , the largest municipally-owned gas utility in the U.S., wants to majorly limit public intervention in big budget decisions. Philadelphians are fighting back for an affordable, renewable energy future. #DontShutUsOut

[POWER Interfaith @powerinterfaith]

Today, dozens of Philly residents urged the Phl Gas Commission not to restrict public input in PGW budget decisions that affect us all. PGW Needs Our Input for Our Energy Future! #Powerinterfaith #SocialJustice #ClimateJustice #DontShutUsOut

Hochul has a bill on her desk *right now* that would #MakePollutersPay into a Climate Superfund to pay for resilience and adaptation — including the state’s ability to handle extreme heat.

Enough talk: show us you’re on the side of people not polluters.
