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.

From a road trip to rallies: 2015-2018 built NY Renews. Our fight began by uniting hundreds of organizations behind climate justice. The movement starts here. Donate: act.nyrenews.org/donate-nyrc #NYRenewsTurns10

As people across the state observed Thanksgiving & Native American Heritage Month ended, member PUSH Buffalo published an op-ed noting that efforts to implement NYs Climate Law will fail if we don’t make the connection b/w climate justice & Indigenous sovereignty Read article at bit.ly/TUTreaties

🚨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 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

Tell the Governor you agree! act.nyrenews.org/isc-state-en...

While the Governor held a secretive nuclear industry summit inside, we joined with Haudenosaunee Nations, climate organizations, and community members to highlight the costly risks of her nuclear energy plan, and call for a renewable future.

We need major changes to NY’s State Energy Plan: No more nuclear energy. No more public dollars for private data centers. No more sacrificing Indigenous lands for corporate profits.  Send a letter today: act.nyrenews.org/isc-state-en...

Yesterday, Trump referred to climate change as a “con job.” Today, NY made a $1B investment in climate. @governor.ny.gov must continue to fight back and embrace NY’s Cap-and-Invest Program to raise vital climate revenue for NYers! bit.ly/NY_SFF

NY politicians must take meaningful action to stand up to the Trump regime and tackle the climate crisis. New York needs bold leadership to protect our climate and our future. Will you join us on 9/26 in NYC for a Climate Town Hall? @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social tinyurl.com/ny-climate-t...

Mold. Asbestos. Poor ventilation. Outdated heating + cooling. NYC schools are suffocating our kids and school staff. @alignny.bsky.social's new Green, Healthy Schools 2025 Report shows how we can fix it and build a healthier, more sustainable city: alignny.org/resource/gre...

NYC public school infrastructure is in crisis. We must do better for students and school staff. Today we rallied at City Hall to release our #GreenHealthySchools plan: ✅Create 321,000 Green Jobs ✅Slash DOE Energy Costs in Half ✅Make schools fully electric & fossil fuel-free

New York’s recently released State Energy Plan is a defeatist document that paves the way for expanded fossil fuel infrastructure. Send a letter to @nyserda.bsky.social to say: New Yorkers deserve better. Link here and in bio: bit.ly/StateEnergyPlanNY #NYSEnergyJustice @governor.ny.gov

If federal emission standards are discarded, NY won't be able to make restrictions on GHG emissions from vehicles, which will make it impossible to hit our Climate Act targets: bit.ly/EPArollback25 Sounds like NY needs to launch its pollution cap program, @governor.ny.gov!
