We welcome the NSW Government’s new goal of reducing emissions by 70% by 2035. They're tackling climate change & moving more quickly to renewables.
But we we also want our state govt to make sure no one is left behind in the transition.

See you in Westmead in March, @dmookheyMLC and @Matt_KeanMP!
We'll be pushing for energy efficient homes and access to affordable, renewable power for renters and people on lower incomes.
Three weeks ago, we met @Matt_KeanMP in Parramatta where he committed to putting our policy asks on his government's agenda.
We look forward to meeting again in March with Kean and @dmookheyMLC ahead of the state election!

We welcome the federal government’s plan, set to pass parliament today, to cap coal and gas prices. The next step? Give everyone access to affordable, renewable energy.
Media release:
sydneyalliance.org.au/news-1…
Caps on coal and gas prices are welcome – but the long-term solution to the energy crisis is renewables.
Chao Zhou from @ParraMission: “We want to see governments upgrade homes so they’re more energy efficient, and support us to access renewable energy.”

Tonight 200 religious leaders, union, charity and not-for-profit reps, researchers & community members met with @Matt_KeanMP on our turf, in Parramatta.
We asked him to commit to measures to curb surging power bills - he agreed to put them on his agenda and to meet again in March
Last night we gathered in Parramatta to listen to each other about how climate change & the soaring cost of energy are impacting us all. We then reflected on what solutions we want the NSW Government to prioritise.
Just 6 days left before we take our priorities to @Matt_KeanMP!

Well done everyone who gathered in Chullora today to share experiences of extreme weather & the cost of living.
Let's push our governments for what we need to ease these pressures: affordable, secure & energy efficient housing & access to renewable power – including for renters.
Voices for Power’s Sheikh Adid Alrubai once had access to solar power. “It was like you lived in paradise,” he said.
Today he doesn’t. And with energy bills skyrocketing, the dishes are now done in cold water.

That’s why Sheikh Adid and many others in similar situations are coming together this month to discuss solutions, ahead of our assembly with NSW Energy Minister @Matt_KeanMP
