New York will lead the country into the future, and beat every utility CEO, AI billionaire, and politician in our way, by building 15 Gigawatts of publicly owned renewable energy to:

  • Cut our energy bills

  • Create 25,000 green union jobs

  • Clean our air, especially in polluted Black and brown neighorhhoods

  • Save our planet

We know we can do it, because it was our movement of New Yorkers, labor unions, and elected officials that passed a revolutionary law to build public renewables. We know we can do it because our mass public pressure forced the state to double its initial plan from 3 GW to 7 GW already.

But since Governor Kathy Hochul is too busy helping Trump build a fracked gas pipeline into New York to hold in-person hearings on our state's energy, we're holding our own People's Hearing in Brooklyn, so New Yorkers can send a clear message: New York will lead our future, and no one can stand in our way.
