NY Renews: the NYC Town Hall

Friends Meeting House 15 Rutherford Place, New York

NY Renews is an unprecedented statewide coalition of 90+ organizations fighting for climate policies grounded in equity and justice for communities and working people.

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.
