Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy, and the public should not bear the costs of building new nuclear reactors when our existing nuclear fleet can’t even afford to operate without massive bailout subsidies from ratepayers. Tell the Gov: No new nukes! bit.ly/psc-nonewnukes

Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.

**Governor Hochul struck a deal with Donald Trump to build MORE fracked gas pipelines across New York – but we have plans to stop her.** Already this year, Hochul approved the expansion of the Iroquois fracked gas pipeline. Now Hochul is considering three additional projects that threaten our water, air, and climate: • The Williams NESE pipeline off the coast of New York City and Long Island, which the state denied permits for five years ago • The 124-mile Constitution pipeline through the Southern Tier and Catskills region, which the state rejected nine years ago • Expanding the Enbridge Algonquin (AIM) pipeline in Rockland and Westchester counties **Join us on June 26 to learn more about Hochul's despicable deal with Trump and how to take action and get involved in a statewide campaign to these dangerous proposals.**
