Across New York, rents keep rising while working families struggle to stay in their homes. But lawmakers still have a chance to act before the legislative session ends. Send a letter today and tell your legislators to pass the REST Act before they leave Albany at cit.ac/REST-Act
Tell Albany:
Pass The REST Act before Session Ends

We joined over 40 organizations to urge state lawmakers to pass ratepayer refund legislation forcing utilities to return excess earnings back to ratepayers. With so many families struggling to keep the lights on, New Yorkers deserve that money back in their pockets.

Because of a loophole, ultra-wealthy utilities in NY can earn more than they were regulated to earn, just to kick it back to shareholders and CEOs. As regular NYers struggle to keep up, we need to make utilities give that money back. drive.google.com/file/d/1IMXp...

This Tax Day, we’re reminded that while everyday New Yorkers are choosing between paying for groceries, rent or utility bills, billionaires pay less in taxes than most working families. Governor Hochul can change that but only if we make her. Tax the rich so our communities can thrive!

The governor has now vetoed this bill. Yet another example of the Governor’s hypocrisy when she talks about caring about consumer affordability and of her total disregard for the climate crisis.@citizenactionny

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.
