Thank you Bill McKibben for your invaluable leadership in the face of the climate crisis, and for urging Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Climate Change Superfund Act to make the biggest global climate polluters (not NY taxpayers) pay for the mess they've made. wnyc.org/shows/bl/brian…

NYC spends billions of taxpayers dollars on climate resilience to protect our city from rising seas, torrential rain, heat waves, and other extremes. TY Office of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander for looking out for NYers' wallets by supporting the Climate Change Superfund Act. cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…

I fully support NY AG James's decision not to defend Governor Kathy Hochul's Congestion Pricing "pause." It's time to get the subway train back on track and implement Congestion Pricing as required by law.

According to a new report from the MTA's in-house rider advocacy organization on alternative funding mechanisms to congestion pricing, only congestion pricing: ✅reduces traffic and emissions ✅adequately funds the MTA ✅secures federal funding for major infrastructure projects

When it comes to casinos, the house always wins, and everyone else loses. Yet another reason why we don't need a casino in Manhattan. nydailynews.com/2024/08/09/tim…

It's really straightforward: The money required to create a thriving and resilient future should come from Big Oil—the folks who have done the most damage to our planet. Urging Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Climate Change Superfund Act that's on her desk. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

My colleagues and I will continue to fight to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the health care we need. Here is our statement regarding the judge's dismissal of the case against Mount Sinai:

Anti-abortion activists who oppose the Equal Rights Amendment have some pretty odd obsessions and conspiracy theories. But they're just spouting nonsense. The ERA will protect NYers from discrimination, and protect abortion rights. Period. timesunion.com/capitol/articl…

Back to School giveaway this Friday on Roosevelt Island!

Someday our grandchildren will ask how on earth the perpetrator of this chilling attack on democracy in 2021 could possibly have been nominated for president in 2024.

This is the human and financial cost of climate inaction. I urge Governor Kathy Hochul to ignore calls from polluters to weaken NY's Climate Law, and sign the Climate Change Superfund Act so that Big Oil will help pay for damage like this. newsday.com/long-island/su…

Although the wording of the language on the ballot may not be as clear as it should be, the impact of the Equal Rights Amendment is crystal clear - it will protect NYers' abortion rights from future interference by state and local governments. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

Now is not the time to surrender to the polluters and water down our Climate Law in NYS. Not only is the destructive impact of climate change increasing every year, but a better, safer, more affordable, and healthier future is waiting if we take action. nytimes.com/2024/08/28/opi…

Yet another of the countless examples of why we need Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Climate Change Superfund Act. Without it, NY taxpayers will continue to bear 100% of the costs of vital infrastructure repairs. Coral Davenport nytimes.com/2024/09/02/cli…

Republican laws are stripping *obstetric hemorrhage carts* of vital medication. When we say abortion bans kill women, we're not exaggerating x.com/lorenaoneil/st…

GOP attacks on reproductive freedom have deadly implications far beyond abortion. A drug used to treat postpartum hemorrhaging will be more difficult for Louisiana doctors to access because of legislators desperate to control every aspect of women's lives. lailluminator.com/2024/09/03/lou…

.@tishjames is exactly right. Proposition One, the Equal Rights Amendment, will protect NYers' right to abortion from future government interference. This November, flip your ballot over and vote YES! democratandchronicle.com/story/opinion/…
