It's time to tackle the climate crisis and pass the nation’s most ambitious climate legislation, the New York Climate and Community Protection Act -- a bill that will move New York’s economy off of fossil fuels entirely in the next 34 years, create thousands of good jobs, and give real protection to workers and low-income communities.
