On March 10, we're going to Albany with @investinourny.bsky.social & @maketheroadny.bsky.social to tell Gov. Hochul: DEFEND NY, FUND OUR FUTURE! In a time of crisis, we need bold action to protect immigrants, make polluters pay, and tax the rich! RSVP link in bio and here: bit.ly/defend-ny-3-10

New York is violating its own climate law. It's time to make polluters pay and invest that money back into New York communities to lower energy bills, create tens of thousands of jobs in renewable energy and building upgrades, and create green, healthy homes. act.nyrenews.org/3b-sfp-clcpa...

A new report from our friends at @nyrenews.bsky.social shows how important and effective the Clean Air Initiative would be for reducing pollution while helping New Yorkers save big.

The climate crisis is pummeling NY. While @governor.ny.gov claims this budget will help protect us from federal cuts and high taxes, she is abandoning the programs that would actually protect us from deadly heat, rising seas, and high energy bills: www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

See you tonight at 6 pm for our mass call! act.nyrenews.org/ny-renews-20... New Yorkers deserve a clean, safe, and affordable future. ✅Lower energy bills ✅Green healthy homes ✅Good union jobs

Jewish New Yorkers unite in calling on @governor.ny.gov to be a climate leader! 1,100+ signed a letter. In her address today, she showed vision & leadership on many issues. “We offer you hizzuk (strength) to make NY the climate leader we know it can and should be.” dayenu.org/media/new-yo...

As a “mom from Buffalo,” @governor.ny.gov has put forward some policy goals that will positively impact the lives of children and families. But what kind of future will NY kids face in a state where toxic fossil fuels continue to destroy our planet? www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

Governor Hochul pays lip service to the affordability crisis in New York, but without bold structural solutions, her words fall flat. We need real leadership and a plan to tax the rich to fund the needs of working families, not more empty platitudes.

Our strike begins today! Show your support for nurses fighting for safe staffing, healthcare benefits and a fair contract! #NYCNurseStrike #SafeStaffingSavesLives #PatientsOverProfits

Ty, @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social! "NY recognized the urgency of climate action... when we first passed the CLCPA. Ever since, fossil fuel interests have been trying to wear down our resolve to see our climate commitments through. We cannot give in to them." www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

New York’s private healthcare CEOs pocket millions in salaries and bonuses, while frontline nurses are overworked and burned out from the staffing crisis. We support @nynurses.bsky.social as they get ready to strike for safe staffing and respect! #NursesCareforNY #PatientsOverProfits

HUGE win. Congrats to @nyrenews.bsky.social, PUSH Buffalo, and all the orgs that worked so tirelessly for this victory! @governor.ny.gov just signed a bill to repeal the 100-foot rule, putting NY on the path towards cleaner heat, lower bills, and reduced climate pollution!

Our latest report reveals @governor.ny.gov's climate law delays are costing NY nearly *30K jobs annually.* By launching cap and invest, NY could create nearly 30K jobs across regions of the state and sectors of the clean-energy economy: www.nyrenews.org/cap-pollutio...

@governor.ny.gov has ONE DAY left to lower our energy bills. Repeal the 100-foot rule NOW!

This important study shows the IMMENSE amount of money the oil and gas billionaires spend to undo climate legislation. We need a Governor who will stand up to greedy utilities and special interests and fight for climate justice.

🚨New York is violating its own climate law — and New Yorkers are paying the price with their wallets, health, and lives. ⚖️ It’s critical we tell our elected representatives to hold the line: No rollbacks to NY’s climate law! 🔗 Link here and in bio: act.nyrenews.org/protect-the-...

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

This Treaty Day, we are uplifting the Tonawanda Seneca Nation’s statement on the 231st Anniversary of the Treaty of Canandaigua. Full statement on our Instagram. Take action today. Tell @governor.ny.gov to honor the treaties: tinyurl.com/TreatyDay2025j

BREAKING: Just weeks after a court ruled @governor.ny.gov violated the climate law, she's at it again by approving an expensive, costly, and dangerous pipeline project. Gov Hochul, you have a responsibility to make life safer, cleaner, and more affordable in NY — and you're failing miserably.

“No one from the federal government is coming to save us,” said Zaz Scott, NY Renews' Lead Coalition Organizer. “Action at the state level is crucial, and Mamdani’s win increases the pressure on Albany to deliver.” insideclimatenews.org/news/0511202...

“NY has the power to do something about climate change, both practically as a city with 9 million people with a larger budget than not only most states, but many countries," said NY Renews Exec Director Stephan Edel in TIME Magazine on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win. time.com/7331331/mamd...

Our Deputy Director Eunice Ko and @nyrenews.bsky.social Executive Director Stephan Edel are quoted in this timely piece on what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win could mean for climate action in NYC: time.com/7331331/mamd...

A judge found New York is violating its own climate law because it hasn’t yet issued cap-and-invest regulations to meet it. The governor is planning to fight back. From @nysfocus.bsky.social:

Last time we checked, a climate leader doesn't: - Violate NY's climate law - Indefinitely delay a pollution cap program - Drag her feet on public renewables - Fast-track fossil fuel pipelines - Green-light energy bill rate hikes time.com/collections/...

⚠️ Breaking: A state judge has ruled that New York is violating its climate law. Story: nysfocus.com/2025/10/24/n...

Yesterday, the New York State Supreme Court ruled that Governor Hochul’s administration must issue regulations that comply with the Climate Act's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets by *February 2026.* This is huge. Here's our statement: www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

@governor.ny.gov's Dept. of Public Service wants to expand and extend billions of dollars in subsidies to the expensive upstate nuclear plants funded by charges on every household's electricity bill. Tell DPS: No more rate hikes for upstate nuclear! actionnetwork.org/letters/no-r...

Thanks to @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social for the sharp piece on the blue state governors who have gone weak on climate policy. @nyrenews.bsky.social ED Stephan Edel said Hochul has "embraced the Republican narrative that climate policy and affordability are at odds." newrepublic.com/article/2017...

👀 Ten NY Congressmembers, including Hakeem Jeffries, are urging the Hochul administration to reject the NESE pipeline. Almost all of them already came out against the pipeline last time the state was considering it so it’s not a huge surprise, but does add pressure on Hochul

The people go wild for blue state governors showing the slightest bit of spine. So on climate, why aren't they doing it? thanks for insight and good info from @nyrenews.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/2017...

Stephan Edel of @nyrenews.bsky.social , on Gov. Hochul: "She often uses 'affordability' to justify rightward shifts or retreats from climate policy, he said, adding that, inexplicably, she also shies away from touting the affordability benefits of climate policies that she does support."

🤓WONKY STATEMENT ALERT🤓 Gov. Hochul wants to cut New York State Agency budgets (again). But with [gestures wildly] everything going on right now, New Yorkers need to be able to depend on public programs AND the people who keep them running. 👇Our full statement👇 (& more wonkiness in this thread)

NEW REPORT: A deep dive into five New York’s major for-profit utility companies details how they’ve raised rates on consumers to earn billions of $$$ profits in the past decade. Learn more via @renewableheatnow.bsky.social: renewableheatnow.org/wp-content/u...

New Yorkers’ energy bills are rising at record rates, not because of renewables or clean energy investments, but because of leaky gas pipes and corporate greed.

Until Jan, NY looked set to implement cap-and-invest this year... Then, Gov. Hochul put the release of key regulations on ice. “She effectively killed her own climate program,” said Michael Richardson, an organizer with @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/will-...

Washington's cap & invest law has generated more than $3 billion for clean air, water, & energy projects. In NYS, though, Hochul hasn't released cap & invest regulations. Third Act Upstate NY's Michael Richardson: “She effectively killed her own climate program...She’s killing it with delays.”

NYC public schools in low-income Black, Brown, and immigrant communities are crumbling — with toxic conditions and climate threats hitting them first and worst. Enough is enough. #GreenHealthySchools protect our kids, support educators, and deliver justice.

By Michael Richardson, co-facilitator of Third Act Upstate NY and a @publicpowerny.bsky.social co-chair. "Now, when New York most needs determined leadership on climate and energy policy, the draft 2025 state energy plan is a testament to the state’s failure to meet the moment." Gift article
