Tell Lawmakers: Protect SEQRA and the Climate in the Budget
- This is a very dangerous time for New York’s environment. The Trump administration has severely undermined foundational laws that protect clean air and water and has thwarted our efforts to fight climate change by blocking clean energy projects and deregulating carbon emissions. We need New York lawmakers to push back and protect the health and safety of our communities - because Trump’s agenda is costing us our future.
- But instead of standing strong, Governor Hochul has aligned herself with Trump’s policies by approving once dead fracked gas pipelines New Yorkers do not need and cannot afford, issuing permits to dirty cryptocurrency mines once deemed in violation of our Climate Law, and suspending other laws that would advance emissions free buildings - all prolonging our dependence on expensive fossil fuels. And these giveaways to big polluters are just the start. Will you ask your legislative leaders to push back on Governor Hochul's reckless assault on our environmental laws? Take action today!
Tell Congress: Permanently Protect Our National Forests from Industrial Development
- Help us protect nearly 60 million acres of public lands—treasured national forests—from yet another Trump administration attack. Revoking the Roadless Rule wouldn't just be pro-industry, it would be bad policy with devastating effects on wildlife, drinking water, communities, local tourism economies, clean air, and wildfire management.

Keep Public Lands in Public Hands
From wildlife refuges to local recreation areas, the places we love are at risk of being transferred or sold without public input. The Public Lands in Public Hands Act would add transparency and accountability to these decisions, requiring congressional approval before certain national lands that are openly accessible to the public can be sold or transferred out of public stewardship.Let's ensure that the lands you and your neighbors hunt on, hike on, fish on, and recreate on cannot be sold off by the administration without full legislative scrutiny! Take Action!
