🚣 Thrilled to see $65,000+ in New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program grants go towards #Albany's Radix Center's artificial wetland initiative, which helps remove sewage from the Hudson River — combatting an environmental injustice in and around our South End neighborhood.


Proud to stand w/Lea Webb, Food & Water Watch, SC Atlantic Chapter, Environmental Advocates NY, and many others to call for passage of a ban on CO2 fracking in New York. We don't need this ridiculous idea damaging our land, our water, and our health, and offering more false climate solutions.


New Yorkers, Did you know we are all paying to build new gas pipelines across our state? Please join me in calling on Governor Kathy Hochul, New York State Senate Sen. Stewart-Cousins & NY Assembly Majority @CarlHeastie to stop pipelines & save you money by passing the full #NYHEAT Act in the budget!




.@CarlHeastie Assemblywoman Amy Paulin New York State Senate New Yorkers deserve to know about the dangers from gas stoves. nrdc.org/bio/rich-schra…

“When I look at my son, I’m mindful we only have one planet.” -Assembly Member Brian Cunningham "We can no longer subsidize fossil fuel infrastructure!" -Assemblymember Robert Carroll "If we're serious about climate change, we must be serious about the" #NYHEAT Act -Manny De Los Santos, MSW We agree! Let's do it!

NYLCV President julie tighe outside Governor Kathy Hochul’s Manhattan office to say #CongestionPricingNow. (the surrounding streets choked with traffic of course)

Nice to have the support of Mayor Eric Adams for the #NYHEAT Act! 👏👏👏 Governor Kathy Hochul @CarlHeastie Let's gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

The Sierra Club urges NY Assembly Majority and Governor Kathy Hochul to pass #NYHEAT this session! act.sierraclub.org/actions/Atlant…

It’s time for NY State to make sure the people understand the health risks. @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins Support S9105b/A9572b psehealthyenergy.org/work/l-gas-and…

Wetlands provide countless benefits, including increased climate resilience, reduced flooding, improved drinking water quality, and habitat for wildlife. Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul & New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation for providing strong regulatory protections for over one million acres of #wetlands!


Today, the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation issued regulations that will protect New York's freshwater #wetlands. These ecosystems provide breeding grounds & critical habitat for countless species, and we must protect them as climate change accelerates the biodiversity crisis.


Today, I announced two new lawsuits challenging Governor Kathy Hochul's indefinite pause of New York City’s congestion pricing alongside a broad coalition of lawyers, plaintiffs, and advocates. WATCH 🎥
