Dear Kelly --
The clock is ticking. We can’t wait for good, green jobs, healthy air and water, and a just transition off of dirty and dangerous fossil fuels. That's why Catskill Mountainkeeper is joining our friends and allies in Albany on April 9th to call on the legislature to pass the Climate and Community Protection Act this legislative session.
We need to show that there’s a mass movement of people who want bold, equity focused climate legislation NOW.
We know the votes are there: a majority of New York State Senators have signed on as co-sponsors, and the New York State Assembly has passed this bill three times. But there’s still a risk they won’t bring the Climate and Community Protection Act to the floor.
We can’t let that happen. That’s why we’re bringing New Yorkers from across the state to Albany on April 9th to tell our representatives that we demand a fossil-free future with good, green jobs and healthy communities.
We’re organizing buses to Albany from around the state, and we’ll provide free lunch for everyone who attends the day of action. This will not be your average lobby day – it will be fun, action-packed, and all about creating the climate of urgency we need to get the CCPA over the finish line!
Our climate and our communities are at a crossroads, but we can choose a just, green, equitable future. Let’s get it done! Put April 9 on your calendar and sign up to get updates on the event.
Thank you for all you do to fight the climate crisis.
Sincerely,
Katherine Nadeau, Deputy Director
