For those who value clean air, clean water, and a safe climate, yesterday’s election results leave only one path forward—we must intensify our efforts in New York to reclaim our leadership in securing these fundamental needs. Governor Hochul and the State Legislature must put disagreements aside and unite to ensure that New York remains a beacon for environmental progress.
Our state must not only lead the nation but also act as a force for action, resistance, and progress. We must embody science-based policies and practical, forward-thinking initiatives that can counter a federal government intent on rolling back the environmental protections vital to our community health and livelihoods. This isn’t just about leadership; it’s about being a levee against a surge of setbacks, a champion of the future we want for ourselves and that we need for our children.
