Amazing MASSIVE march today over the BK bridge w/ @nychange.bsky.social @fffnyc.bsky.social, LG Antonio Delgado & more to tell @governor.ny.gov to STOP Trump's gas pipelines, including Williams NESE, which would pollute the Rockaways & wreck our climate!

NY says #NoTrumpPipelines!

Amazing turnout in Peekskill with our Westchester chapter to tell @governor.ny.gov #NoTrumpPipelines. Standing up to Trump means rejecting the Williams-NESE and Maple pipelines.

Don't sacrifice our waterways and kids' health and futures to appease a bully Governor Hochul!

We had an amazing afternoon making art for climate justice with the Old Stone House yesterday. It's time for @governor.ny.gov & ALL our leaders to protect kids, not polluters and we will keep organizing until they do.

Hot off the presses🔆: @emilyassembly.bsky.social & @lizkrueger.bsky.social just introduced the #SUNNYAct--a bill to make #BalconySolar possible in New York.

We're psyched to support this bill in the coming year and make solar accessible to renters and apartment residents across the city and state!🔆

Lawmakers, climate advocates, and youth joined forces last week to condemn the EPA's move to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which is the backbone of greenhouse gas emissions regulation.

Americans have already submitted more than 100,000 public comments in response to the EPA's proposal.

At a press conference in the Capitol, they made the case for regulating greenhouse gases in the interest of youth and future generations.

Trump will speak at the United Nations this morning. We are giving him the welcome he deserves. Hundreds of activists began a public procession towards the UN. At 42 St and 2nd Ave they sat down in the street to block Trump's procession. Thousands of policemen began arresting the activists

In these dark times, let the light shine in. No more pipelines. No hate. Yes to green energy. Yes to community & fighting for our kids. 💚
