NY Renews Press Conference for Climate, Jobs and Justice: Capital District
Start: Thursday, May 25, 2023•12:00 PM
Join Citizen Action of New York and NY Renews, a coalition of over 350 environmental, justice, faith, labor, and community groups, for a Climate, Jobs, and Justice press conference.
Almost four years after the passage of New York's landmark Climate Law, it's time to start delivering on the climate law's mandates. It's time for New York State to pass the entire Climate, Jobs, and Justice Package (CJJP), including provisions left out of the New York State budget agreement. The CJJP is a legislative roadmap to rapidly decarbonize New York, make our state healthier and more equitable, ensure a just transition for workers, and create an accessible green economy for all. We will also raise local concerns, like the need to make the New York State Capitol and nearby state buildings run on renewables, ending the decades of harm to a nearby Albany climate justice community.
