Albany Advocacy Day: Kick Fossil Fuels Out of Buildings

Join leading climate groups from Buffalo to Long Island as we converge on Albany to demand that New York State Governor and legislature pass key climate legislation this year, including kicking fossil fuels out of buildings. Burning gas, oil, and propane in our homes and workplaces is bad for New Yorker’s wallets, harms our health, and is damaging our climate. We need to pass these bills to ensure an equitable transition to renewable heating and cooking and protect our health, planet, and pocketbooks:

All-Electric Building Act (S6843C|A8431B of 2022)
Gas Transition and Affordable Energy Act (S8198|A9329 of 2022)
Energy Efficiency, Equity, and Jobs Act (S3126C|A3996C of 2022)

We will kick off the day with a rally and press conference in the State Capitol Building to push Governor Hochul to include these vital bills in her proposed budget. Then we will break into lobby teams (no prior lobbying experience necessary) to talk to our elected representatives and win their support for these important bills. RSVP TODAY!
