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
The Utility Consumer Advocate Bill gives everyday New Yorkers our own watchdog in the room. It's on Governor Hochul’s desk right now, and we don't have much time.

This #ThanksTaking, we're thanking YOU, our members.
The last 10 months have tested us. But they have reminded us that when we stand together, we're capable of more than we realize. Together, we will overcome. Not because it’s easy, but because solidarity, care, & collective power carry us forward.

To get NYS to tax the rich, Zohran and we, the many, have the same objective but two distinct tasks:
Zohran's task is to play nice with the governor right up until the moment that becomes a dead-end.
Our task, as @nychange.bsky.social shows by example, is to push Hochul relentlessly, starting now.

🚨BREAKING: We’re ready for Round 2! Today, we came to Wall Street to endorse @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor.
While bankers rake in record profits, working people are being crushed. The choice is clear: corporate politics under Kathy Hochul or people power with Antonio Delgado.

BREAKING: Just weeks after a court ruled @governor.ny.gov violated the climate law, she's at it again by approving an expensive, costly, and dangerous pipeline project. Gov Hochul, you have a responsibility to make life safer, cleaner, and more affordable in NY — and you're failing miserably.

I called Governor Hochul's office and said:
"I urge the governor to fund the full $650 million needed to ensure that all 3 million New Yorkers who rely on SNAP will be able to eat—and to put this money onto their EBT cards so that they can access it directly.
You can call her too: ☎️ (518) 474-8390

We gathered at the steps of New York City Hall to demand that Gov. Hochul fund SNAP benefits for the 3 million New Yorkers who rely on them.
“We urge her to use State funds to pay for all or some of November SNAP benefits, just as multiple other states have already done.”

Climate leaders don’t ignore state climate law.
Maybe Governor Hochul should show her leadership by implementing the state’s Climate Law, lowering our bills, and making big corporate polluters pay instead.

Last time we checked, a climate leader doesn't:
- Violate NY's climate law
- Indefinitely delay a pollution cap program
- Drag her feet on public renewables
- Fast-track fossil fuel pipelines
- Green-light energy bill rate hikes
