Sunnyside Sunny Act playdate
was a viiiiiibe, a sunny vibe 😎☀️🎶

Hopefully all New Yorkers and especially caregivers can get behind this simple bill that cuts out the red tape for NY apartment and home dwellers to be able to plug in solar panels on balconies, backyards, and other small spaces to reduce energy costs, because if our governor is going to weaken our climate laws, we need more options to take clean energy into our own hands!

Join our movement and get your Elected reps to co-sponsor the bill and host your own neighborhood playdate! Visit www.climatefamiliesnyc.org/sunny-act for more info

Beyond the resource benefits of REUSE (both environmental and financial), the biggest benefit I see firsthand is increasing MEANING in our lives. This comes from giving/donating items that still have value, but also from accepting and using those items. I still come across lots of people that have built up an aversion to used items, and I feel sadness about this. One, because it feeds the narrative that only new things have value, but moreso because it robs them of this opportunity for added meaning in their lives. Meaning helps increase our sense of self and of community.

Parents have a big role to play and explaining to children that wearing something that was pre-owned is making a direct action to fight climate change. There are currently enough clothes on the planet to clothe the next 6 generations! It takes so much energy and water to create new clothes and new single used disposable items. Let’s embrace reuse while it’s still a choice!

From - Recent public pronouncements have proclaimed a “new” energy vision for New York, but what has been presented is nothing more than a myopic view of the future. An “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, for example, is nothing more than an embrace of continued reliance on burning fossil fuels (in clear violation of New York’s widely respected Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, or “Climate Law”) and promotion of the most expensive way to generate electricity — nuclear reactors.

Instead, New York should return to policies that make sense economically and are feasible in both the short term and the long term, emphasizing affordability while acting within the scientific consensus on climate. Implementing the Climate Law accordingly will save money- and save lives. Social media post and fact sheet attached.

Please begin call-ins to the Governor to ensure proper implementation of the Climate Law. 518-474-8390

“Hello, my name is __________ and my zipcode is _______. I am calling to urge the Governor to address the destructive practices of the fossil fuel industry that continue to make our energy bills skyrocket and harm our communities and public health by following the timelines and benchmarks set out in the Climate Law. Implementing the Climate Law accordingly will save money and save lives. Thank you!”

On Monday, I testified to the NY City Council that they should adopt the following bills regarding our beloved immigrant community, the forever backbone of this city. 🗽🗽🗽 Most people probably think many of these laws are already in place, but they’re not and some agencies are shamefully taking advantage of that.
[The same forces that are stealing our public lands and polluting our poorest communities and all of us in the name of billions or trillions of dollars. It’s all !]

If you live in NYC, I encourage you to call your council member and tell them you support these measures:
◻️Intro 1412: This bill would bar federal immigration authorities from maintaining offices or quarters, for any purpose, on land over which the New York City Department of Correction (DOC) exercises jurisdiction, explicitly superseding any conflicting mayoral executive order.
◻️Intro 0214: Would allow individuals held by the New York PD, the DOC, and the Department of Probation to bring an action alleging a violation of the detainer laws in any court of competent jurisdiction.
◻️Intro 1268: Would require the commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) to develop signage that clearly describes immigrant legal protections, and clearly identify examples of nonpublic areas of city property and list the rights individuals may invoke when interacting with federal immigration authorities (in plain language and translated).
◻️Intro 1272: Would prohibit employers from using E-Verify or any other employment eligibility verification system to check the work authorization status of employees and job applicants who have not been offered employment, except when federally required.

Thank you and many others for bringing these bills forward, and ALL those that offered deeply powerful testimony about what we are doing to our fellow humans under this cruel administration.

New coverage on our plea to to Repeal the 100 foot Rule. This is the one crumb environmental advocates and activists got last legislative session thru the NY state government, after Gov Hochul threatened to veto the plastic packaging reduction bill, the rest of the NY heat act, pausing the All electric building act, lagging on the CLCPA, and going full speed ahead on AI and data centers and approving a fracked gas pipeline. But it’s an important crumb. This one decision will determine if our “Mom Governor” actually does things she says she’ll do to protect kids or is a Climate Criminal. We’re waiting….

GOVERNOR HOCHUL — It’s time to listen to all the Assembly Members (like ) and State Senators who supported and fought for the Repeal of the 100-foot Rule, and SIGN THE BILL, so that we can STOP 🛑 socializing costs (where New Yorkers bear both financial and health costs) and letting the oil and gas companies privatize the profits 🤑🤑. It’s time to work for the people and provide the affordability and clean environment we all deserve!! ☮️
