Mr. Mayor we’re on the steps of city hall to ask you to lower our bills 💰, cut pollution 🎉 and create good jobs 💪 Help our communities on climate policy like you said you would!

We’re rallying with allies on 29th street in Brooklyn to stop the Gowanus fracked gas power plant proposed for this site by a private equity firm that builds data centers. 😱 Hochul must stop this huge new potential pollution source, which would also raise utility bills!

Feliz día de la independencia de México! The rain vanished and it's great day to be out in the neighborhood. Governor Hochul, @governor.ny.gov, we're out in Sunset Park talking about the dirty fracked gas plant no one wants. Stop it to lower our bills and cut pollution!

Today, we proudly joined the @investinourny.bsky.social coalition to support the pied-à-terre tax, which would raise more than $500 MILLION in new revenue by taxing high-value second homes, helping address the city’s budget needs and fund critical services for New Yorkers.

Parts of NYC are about to start flooding. 😢 Climate change is accelerating. Stay safe! The city, led by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, should build Green New Deal-scale policy, using Local Law 97 to cut pollution, drive good job creation & reduce energy bills. We need a #GasFreeNYC!

If you're in Sunset Park look out for us as we knock your block! We're organizing against the Gowanus fracked gas plant, which would raise utility bills and add tons of pollution if approved. Our members will be out doorknocking to make sure @governor.ny.gov stops the proposal.

Years ago, we supported the huge CHPE transmission project to bring hydropower from Quebec to NYC. It’s great to see it’s now up and running, lowering both electricity prices and pollution. 🎉 800 megawatts of clean energy is flowing into NYC’s electric grid atm, enough to power 800k homes. 👏

Mayor Mamdani should close the REBNY-created loophole in our Green New Deal law, Local Law 97. Closing this loophole would help prevent pollution, protect thousands of future jobs and lower utility bills through energy efficiency. Fact sheet below.

Hochul’s order, which is much weaker than the data center moratorium the legislature passed, attempts to make it look like she’s acting as the election looms. She’s doing everything she can, politically, to protect tech billionaires, developers & AI. Sign the bill, Hochul!

This Eric Adams regulatory loophole allows billionaire owners to evade reducing 85% of the pollution coming from their office buildings. It’s REBNY’s play. If this real estate loophole isn’t closed, it will cost thousands of good jobs, raise energy bills & increase pollution. 🧵

The military may be US imperialism's most powerful force, but a close second is vulture funds. Hedge funds + private-equity firms buy up the global South's debts, then demand repayment in ruinous ways. Half of these contracts are governed by NY law. It is literally up to New Yorkers to stop this.

The New York State Budget is passed. Key details: • 450,000 people will lose health care in July • NY becomes 1st state to roll back its climate law • No #TaxTheRich (pied-à-terre is 0.1% of budget) The Left lost big this year because of no gubernatorial primary. We must never repeat this mistake.

Congratulations to the groups and orgs and elected officials who pushed for this (we did a little, too)! PS this isn’t the budget bill that guts the climate law. That’s probably coming next week to a debate/vote. Legislators should VOTE NO on that segment of the state budget!

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.
