The NY HEAT Act is a critical state-level bill to fight climate change by transitioning our buildings from fossil fuels to clean heating and cooling technology like heat pumps. It would also end subsidies for new pipelines and lower our utility bills to 6% of our income - it's a win-win for people and planet! But, for our reps to feel the pressure they need to stand up to the fossil fuel industry, we need YOU to join us for this rally and advocacy day in Albany! No prior advocacy experience is needed, just a desire to share a short story about why you want climate action, healthier communities, and lower utility bills.
