On a related note: last year the NYS Senate passed this bill; as usual, the worse chamber was the Assembly. Yet another reason the Left *must* win our Assembly primaries this year.

Today, NYCC stood with @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and @velazquez.house.gov in support of his policy agenda on Puerto Rico and closing the Champerty Loophole. Like Nydia, he will advocate for Puerto Ricans and all NYers, no matter where in the world they come from. www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

BREAKING: Entry to gas behemoth Con Ed’s HQ shut down as NYers protest high utility bills, call on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov to enact #GasFreeNYC

😂😂😂 Hochul before and Hochul now on the state’s climate law. She’s gutting it now. Tell legislators to VOTE NO!

Vulture funds force countries into crippling debt. This means nations can’t provide healthcare, education & climate resilience for their people. Close the Champerty Loophole Now! Protect vulnerable countries from being pillaged! prospect.org/2026/04/24/c...

Legislators should vote NO on the budget, not gut NY’s climate law. If this is adopted, NYers will pay even more for energy, jobs will be destroyed and pollution will increase. They should vote NO, not validate an oily deal presented to them by Hochul and legislative leaders.

@nychange.bsky.social member + SE Queens Chapter chair Jean Sassine is out with a good piece that connects the racial inequity of NY's real-property tax system with the need to #TaxTheRich via income + corporate taxes. PS: Jean also supports @osterforus.bsky.social. citylimits.org/opinion-prop...

Today @governor.ny.gov Hochul is scheduled to meet w/ Billionaire CEO Ken Griffin but will she meet w/ the constituency actually leaving NYC? Black families. While she’s in town the Gov is welcome to come meet with our members like SE Queens homeowner Jean Sassine. citylimits.org/opinion-prop...

“The Legislature must hold firm and not buckle by letting Hochul off the hook. It’s time to move New York forward, not double down on expensive, polluting oil and gas,” writes @nychange.bsky.social's @petesikora.bsky.social. citylimits.org/opinion-ener...

Our climate director writes in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social that the Legislature shouldn’t roll over to Governor Hochul’s Trump-y energy agenda. They should not restart a charade of phony goals that the state won’t meet. We need lower, not higher, bills! citylimits.org/opinion-ener...

Hochul wants to enact Trump’s energy agenda. The NY legislature should say NO! If the leadership and Governor cook up a deal to gut NY’s climate law in the budget, we will urge legislators to vote the budget down. No to higher bills, more asthma & a cooked planet. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We’re pushing for NY state legislation to restrain vulture funds that shake down entire nations - using New York law. Let’s change that! Check it out:

Alt text: @nychange.bsky.social member Norman Frazier—an elder Black man dressed in bright-orange NYCC apparel—is being carried off, hands behind his back, by a state police officer and a man dressed in a suit, with more state police officers behind. Also visible is Assembly member Marcela Mitaynes.

Hochul has a bonkers Trump-style op-ed today claiming “No governor in modern times has done more to protect our environment than I have.” 🤪🤪🤪 For the record, check out the many actions she’s taken to pump up oil & gas company profits at our expense: readme.readmedia.com/HERE-S-EVERY...

BREAKING: 20 of us and other groups arrested blocking Hochul’s Albany office entrance b/c she’s trying to gut NY’s climate law. She wants to boost gas company profits at our expense by adopting Trump’s energy agenda. 🤬 New York, tell your state legislators: hell no!

One of our member’s over $4,000 gas bill for her small 1 family home in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. 😰 As our members struggle to pay rising energy bills, @governor.ny.gov Hochul pushes to *make it worse* by gutting NY’s climate law, locking us to oil & gas. The legislature should tell her: NO! 🧵

We want $10 million in the New York City budget to subsidize heat pumps for homeowners, and requirements that end new oil and gas boiler installations — this means cleaner air, more green jobs, and lower utility bills for New Yorkers! 2/2

🌍 On Friday, 4/17, @nypirg.bsky.social, @fwwnewyork.bsky.social, and @nychange.bsky.social delivered nearly 5,000 petition signatures to the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice and Office of Mass Engagement in support of our #GasFreeNYC campaign! 1/2

Great, and grateful to Amsterdam News, to see this profile of James Inniss—someone people rarely hear about but who is doing a disproportionate amount of the work to organize NYC's organized Left in both electoral and governance work. He's not on here, but do follow his org: @nychange.bsky.social.

James Inniss boasts his own remarkable come-up as New York Communities for Change’'s (NYCC) current interim political director. His formative years played a big role in unofficially laying the groundwork for his organizing ways. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4sALEX6

We love seeing an organizer get their flowers, especially someone as kind & effective as @nychange.bsky.social’s James Inniss!

Maybe Governor Hochul shouldn’t keep NYers locked to oil & gas by gutting the state’s climate law? 🤔

We held our first organizing meeting in Wakefield in the Bronx yesterday for #GasFreeNYC: ✅ lower energy bills ✅ good, union jobs ✅ less pollution Cc: @ZohranKMamdani @NYCCouncil 411 below

Guess which Governor is all in to keep us hooked on oil & gas by gutting the state’s climate law?

Today nearly 100 parents, providers, and allies showed up and showed out in the Bronx as we all rallied outside Speaker Heastie’s office, demanding a $500M Worker Retention Fund for our childcare providers! Our educators and workforce deserve livable wages NOW!!

The Defend Our Climate Law Emergency Rally is taking place now in the Legislative Office Building in Albany! The New York Communities for Change rally participants are here to tell NY lawmakers: Protect the Climate Law! Video: L. Evans @nychange.bsky.social

Our members are making calls to their legislators from the rally bus to Albany to stop Hochul’s attack on the climate law. NYCC has generated almost 1,000 calls so far from constituents to assemblymembers: don’t raise our utility bills! Stop Hochul’s attack on the climate law! 🧵

We’ve heard some minimize Hochul’s attack on NY’s climate law as just sort of mild change. NO. She wants to cripple the law. If the legislature doesn’t stop her attack, our members will pay much higher bills, and pollution will skyrocket, too. Memo: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

@volts.wtf & @petesikora.bsky.social of @nychange.bsky.social about Hochul & CLCPA: Sikora: "If...you agree that the [NY] climate law should not be rolled back, pick up the phone right now, call a state legislator that represents you and tell them to reject Hochul’s proposals." Great interview!

Today on Volts: NY governor Kathy Hochul wants to delay or roll back her state's landmark climate law in the name of affordability. State activists say more clean energy would bring costs down & Hochul is just making excuses for her past failures. I get into it with one of those activists.

Honored to have joined @mayor.nyc.gov, council members, and movement partners for the announcement of the new Office of Community Safety today, following the release of our policy proposal for the city to invest $26-30 million in non-carceral hate violence prevention.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social announces first-ever Deputy Mayor for the Department of Community Safety, Renita François! We need real change to take on NYC's mental health crisis and ending the cycle that fuels the broken carcel system. This is a great first step!

Governor Hochul went to yet another fancy corporate lobbyist event at Cipriani Wall Street today. We and others were outside to say: Don’t gut the climate law! The utility bills are too damn high! Don’t raise our bills, Gov!

Your voice matters! Join us Friday, March 20th, 11AM at 919 3rd Ave. for a Rally and Press Conference for FULLY FUNDED Child Care. We'll discuss our state budget. Family childcare providers deserve livable wages, and childcare needs to be readily available to all!

Build the elevator, Gov! www.bkreader.com/non-profit-c...

Senators Liz Krueger, @senatorkevinparker.bsky.social @senatorharckham.bsky.social roast Hochul’s attack on NY’s climate law, pointing out GAS drives up bills, so rolling back the law would *raise* utility bills! They rightly compare this attack to Trump. 🔥 www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/12/k...

🚨$30 FOR OUR CITY CAMPAIGN LAUNCH! On Tuesday, March 10th, 12pm, at City Hall, @cmsandynurse.bsky.social and our Raise Up NY coalition will introduce a bill to gradually raise the minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030. Join us to fight for a wage New Yorkers deserve.

We are in a climate crisis, and our utility bills are too high! On 3/5 in Manhattan, @nypirg.bsky.social and our coalition partners gathered for a #GasFreeNYC rally! We rallied for an end to dirty, expensive oil and gas boilers and in support of energy-efficient, money-saving heat pumps. 🌍

Leafleting the big dollar lobbyist fundraiser on Wall Street where @governor.ny.gov Hochul is speaking to send a message: don’t roll back the climate law! We want lower, not higher energy bills and lower, not higher, pollution, Gov!

“What do we want? LOWER BILLS!” Rally outside Con Ed HQ urging @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov to enact #GasFreeNYC

We know @nychange.bsky.social isn’t new to this, they are true to this. We have spent the past 10 years fighting together for New Yorkers on climate, housing, childcare, and budget justice. I’m honored to always be NYCC’s choice of fighter and am humbled by their endorsement in this race.

Bucks for Boilers would provide money to make their homes energy efficient when their oil or gas boilers konk out. Our aging, dirty fossil fuel boilers don't just break our wallets--they create more climate-heating pollution, making our homes less healthy and cooking the planet. bit.ly/4tGVBUA

In the face of federal cuts and a cost of living crisis, we greatly appreciate Antonio Delgado for putting it on the line. Governor Hochul, don’t get it twisted: the math won’t add up to protect New Yorkers without taxing the rich. That’s what New Yorkers want, and need.

We’re up in Albany today pushing the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act, which cleans up our streets, saves municipalities money on sanitation and cuts pollution! Also who wants plastic in their bodies 🤢

We protested “National Greed” aka National Grid, the gas utility, for a #GasFreeNYC! ✅ lower costs ✅ good jobs ✅ less pollution NYC: let’s get rid of old, dirty oil/gas boilers ====> energy efficient, modern systems Wassup @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @nyccouncil.bsky.social

GasFreeNYC February 3 Rally to send a message to Mayor Mamdani and the City Council: NYC wants lower bills + clean air. We need a GasFree NYC! Our high utility bills are paying for gas pipeline infrastructure. @fwwnewyork.bsky.social @nychange.bsky.social @nypirg.bsky.social 📸Ken Schles

Please my heat is so expensive 😫🥶

Studs Terkel would often say, "I never met a petition I didn’t like.” My saying is I've never met a *canvass* I didn't like. Thanks @nychange.bsky.social for doing field on this issue. PS—Governor Hochul is delaying implementation of the All-Electric Buildings law. Vote @delgadoforny.bsky.social!

We’re out door knocking in Wakefield in the BX for a #GasFreeNYC! ✅ save money ✅ create good jobs ✅ cut pollution By eliminating oil/gas boilers => modern, energy efficient heat pumps. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @council.nyc.gov should fund, implement the program!
