Hi everyone! Are you interested in fighting Climate Change? Bringing Environmental Justice to NYS? If so, join the lobbying meeting today (Friday) with Assembly Member Galef at 11 am!
We will be representing NY Renews which is "a coalition of over 200 environmental, justice, faith, labor, and community groups, and the force behind the nation’s most progressive climate law" ( nyrenews.org ). NY Renews is asking legislators to push for the CCIA (Climate and Community Investment Act) to be included in the one house bill, i.e., they want it to be passed as part of NY's budget. The Climate and Community Investment Act (CCIA) will raise $15 billion per year from corporate polluters and uses it to create good, green jobs, invest in frontline communities, and build a renewable economy for New York State.
Here are some links with more information: https://www.nyrenews.org/ccia
