Let's goooooooo! Despite an onslaught of propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and a Governor who is hellbent on implementing Trump's climate arson agenda, our public power movement is pushing New York forward.

Thanks to the hard work of thousands of New Yorkers, we are on the brink of passing the biggest climate bill in the nation: the #BuildPublicRenewables Act.
But just what makes it so transformative? And how does it work?
Well, allow the bill in question to break it down: 🎙⇣
Flooded basements. Orange skies. Deadly heat waves. It’s past time for NY to get off fossil fuels for good. But we're stuck at under 30% renewables, with no progress in sight. This is why we passed BPRA, and why we’re launching our vision for public renewables today. 🧵
Brooklyn is burning.
No more half measures. No more empty words.
No waiting for private corporations to decide when their profits align with the public interest. No hoping for politicians to take action.
It is time to take the future in our hands.
