For Elizabeth Yeampierre, the Environment Is a Civil Rights Issue Civil rights organization UPROSE has threaded environmental issues throughout its work.

“Our people have survived all kinds of things—our ancestors have, our parents have. We're going to be the people we've always been: creative, resourceful, solution oriented—and we are not going to be fearful.”

Gonna be on Inside City Hall on NY 1 in a few minutes, to talk about how Governor Hochul is failing NY'ers on climate action. Worst possible moment - as Felon 47 gets ready to drill baby drill us all to death, we need state leaders to step up climate action, not step back

Costs plus Trump deliver double whammy to blue states on climate The same affordability concerns that swept President Donald Trump to office are keeping blue-state leaders from mounting a vigorous response to his dismantling of federal climate policies.

If there was still a Democratic president in DC, “perhaps we’d be fine with a visionless governor,” said Eddie Bautista, ED of NYC-EJA, who joined 2 other advocates in resigning from a state climate justice panel on Tuesday in protest of Hochul’s approach on climate.

“I’m not sure anyone in the climate world is seeing anything but a cynical governor who is trying to sound bite her way through this when what we need is funding,” said @eddiebk.bsky.social
