Activists hold up festive “Hochul Climate Superfund Now” at the annual tree lighting ceremony @PlazaEvents — referring to the Climate Superfund Act they want @GovKathyHochul to sign by year’s end.

It's time to put pressure on @GovKathyHochul to #MakePollutersPay, and that means it's time to head to Albany! We're joining @ThirdActOrg and so many other wonderful groups from across the climate movement for a multi-day sit-in to get the Climate Change Superfund Act signed, and there's a bus leaving NYC on Tuesday morning! We'd love to see you there - RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/new…

Governor Hochul still has yet to sign the NY Superfund Act into law — even though our polling finds that 66% of voters nationally and 70% of New York voters support making oil and gas companies pay for climate damages.

On November 20, over two hundred New Yorkers rallied to demand Governor Hochul and the New York Power Authority build 15 gigawatts of public renewables.
Here is some of the energy that forced NYPA CEO Justin Driscoll to put 15 GW on the table.

@GovKathyHochul - the "Climate Change Superfund Act" (carbon taxes) will crush NY. Forced electric heating in new construction in 2026 is too costly. Carbon taxes & forced electric, as the rest of the USA will enjoy cheap energy under Trump, will be YOUR political end. – at New York, USA

@GovKathyHochul On this Thanksgiving Day, please fill me with gratitude by signing the Climate Change Superfund Act (S2129A/A3351) (@LizKrueger /@JeffreyDinowitz ). It’s time for polluters to pay their fair share.

The lawsuit is calling on companies like BP, Chevron, Exxon, and Shell to pay for past and future climate harms and cease their "ongoing deception."

Today I stood with @JeffreyDinowitz, @NYCComptroller, @AMGraceLee, @NYPIRG and others to urge @GovKathyHochul to sign the Climate Change Superfund Act, and save NY taxpayers $3 billion per year on the cost of repairing from and preparing for climate change-driven extreme weather.
Third Act NYC retweeted
The #ClimateChangeSuperfundAct is landmark legislation that shifts the economic burdens of climate change from taxpayers to Big Oil.
The NY state legislature passed it, and we've got the public support.
Now it's urgent that @GovKathyHochul swiftly sign it into law & hold polluters accountable before Trump takes office.

A climate denier is soon to be at the helm of the federal government.
Still, UCLA professor Cara Horowitz explains that there will be many legislative and regulatory steps for the Trump Administration to clear if it tries to gut climate protections.

NYC's drought warning isn't a coincidence. It's the result of unchecked fossil fuel emissions. We call on @GovKathyHochul to sign the Climate Change Superfund Act and require polluters to pay to clean up their messes. foodandwaterwatch.org/2024/1…

@GovKathyHochul is now on track to follow through and fully implement #CongestionPricing.
This is thanks to our relentless organizing—every phone call, rally, and action. And, the work must continue! 🧵

I’m at the Federal Triangle metro station in Washington, D.C. covering a climate rally organized by a coalition of environmental advocacy groups including Sunrise Movement DC, Third Act and Green New Deal for DC.

Great interview!👀
Now that @GovKathyHochul is doing congestion pricing, Dan names the 3 other must-do immediate biggies:
✅sign the climate superfund act (on her desk)
✅pass the #NYHEAT act
✅set strong cap & invest (regs she controls)
Save money, create jobs, cut pollution!
After the driest October on record, NYC is now in a drought watch, with brush fires popping up and causing poor air quality in the five boroughs. I spoke with @RogerClark41 at @NY1 today about what it all means - and the climate connection. Check it out ⬇️
