STATE CAPITOL RALLY: Stand Together for Climate, Jobs, and Justice

Join us to Rally for 
100% Clean Renewable Energy in NY State!

The Climate Justice Coalition of WNY and the Sierra Club Niagara Group need YOU in Albany to tell our lawmakers that we demand a Clean Energy Economy with Good Jobs, Healthy Communities, a Livable Climate and Justice for ALL!

The shift to renewable energy will cut global warming pollution, create new jobs and must include policies that ensure equity and justice for our communities and workers.

Fortunately, the NYS Assembly recently introduced a new bill, The Climate and Community Protection Act (A10342), that addresses all of the above concerns. But the bill will not become law without Strong Public Support. That's why we need YOU at the State Capitol!

Rally with us on June 1st to make your voice heard and let New York State legislators know that We Stand United for a clean energy economy and renewable energy future for all!

Albany Rally -- No to Fracking, Yes to Renewable Energy

New York Crossroads

Rally to Stop Fracking and Demand Renewable Energy!

 

On Monday, June 17, 2013, citizens from across New York—from Long Island to Niagara Falls—will arrive in Albany to demand freedom from dirty energy, calling on Governor Cuomo to reject fracking and lead the nation in building a renewable energy economy here and now in New York.

At this march and rally, the anti-fracking movement will, for the first time, join with business leaders, faith leaders, health professionals, elected officials, farmers, and youth to demand the renewable energy jobs that our families and communities want and deserve.

Earth Day Lobby Day in Albany

The 23rd Annual Earth Day Lobby Day will be held on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013 at the State Capitol in Albany, New York. 

Hundreds of citizens from every corner of New York State will meet with their state lawmakers and show their support for the environment. This year's Earth Day Lobby Day will focus on critically important environmental issues such as expanding solar energy, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, keeping toxic chemicals out of children’s products, and protecting New York from the dangers of hydrofracking.

Specifically we will be lobbying on the following environmental “Super Bills”:

• Fracking Moratorium and Health Impacts Assessment: A5424A/S4236A
• Climate Protection Act: A6327, S735
• New York Solar Bill: A5060/S2522
• Child Safe Products Act: A6328/S4614

This year, for the first time ever, the environmental community will also join together in calling for Campaign Finance Reform as a key plank in our legislative platform. Too often, good environmental bills are blocked in the state legislature because of big spending by special interests. Reform of Albany's "pay to play" system is needed and long-overdue.

Earth Day Lobby Day 2013 is being sponsored by Adirondack Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, Catskill Mountainkeeper, Citizen Action of New York, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Clean and Healthy New York, Environmental Advocates of New York, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, New York Interfaith Power and Light, New York League of Conservation Voters, New York Public Interest Research Group, Open Space Institute/Alliance for NYS Parks, Parks & Trails New York, Protect the Adirondacks, Riverkeeper, Sierra Club, Vote Solar Initiative, and other organizations.

The day’s events will last from 9:30 to 3:00. The morning program will take place in Hearing Room C of the Legislative Office Building. You must be registered to participate in afternoon lobbying activities.
