200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

This is why we’re so excited to be supporting the #SUNNYAct for plug in solar here in NY alongside @permitpower.bsky.social @thirdactorg.bsky.social @solarunitedneighbors.org @brightsaver.bsky.social @greencoopcouncil.bsky.social & more! We need plug in solar here☀️🔌

Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

Thank you @bradlander.bsky.social for taking action to move our NYC pension fund out of Blackrock, one of the world's biggest fossil fuel funders. It's time for the trustees & @marklevinenyc.bsky.social to follow suit and align our pension fund with our values.

This illustration - inspired by our fellows - reminds us what the #COP30 negotiations must protect. We need clean air, unpolluted rivers, renewable energy, strong communities, and a liveable future for all children. Let’s choose wisely. ✨

I wrote about all the ways @governor.ny.gov is failing on climate in one place so it's easy to find.
She's no better than Trump. And no, it's not about "affordability."

New in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social today by CF co-chair, and parent organizer @loinbrooklyn.bsky.social :

When it comes to climate, @governor.ny.gov is not much better than Trump.

Climate delay=denial. Our kids deserve a governor who won't set their future on fire.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The people have spoken: Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City.

As New Yorkers invest in a new vision, we look forward to working with the mayor elect to win the green, affordable city we deserve.
