STATE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN: NY Renews Climate, Jobs and Justice Recovery Campaign 2020-2021

As part of the NY Renews coalition, we worked hard to achieve passage of the groundbreaking NYS Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in June 2019. Now we're advocating to pass a bill by making polluters pay. The new bill is known as the Climate and Community Investment Act (CCIA).

"The life of humanity and its food is [from] a tree of the field…and it is not the way of a wise and understanding nation to needlessly destroy something so worthy; therefore you should not cut down a tree of the field, rather you should protect it from destruction and damage, and take benefit from it." - Rabbeinu Bachya (1255-1340 CE, Spain)
