Pass the Climate & Community Investment Act!

Pass the Climate & Community Investment Act!

The Climate and Community Investment Act will fund New York’s transition to a renewable energy economy by making polluters pay for the damage they’re causing our climate and communities. We’ll do this by charging companies that emit greenhouse gas pollution and dangerous air pollution a fee, then turn around and invest that fee in our communities. Our investments will fund:

  • Green jobs;

  • Large scale renewable projects;
  • Grants for community led projects on energy planning, reducing local emissions and increasing climate resiliency;

  • Rebates to help middle and low income families to reduce the burden of energy costs.

Email Your Lawmakers

Lawmakers need to hear from New Yorkers! Your message will make a difference--it'll tell them that New York needs and deserves the Climate and Community Investment Act, which will invest in:

  • good green jobs;
  • communities on the front lines of climate change;
  • renewable energy; and
  • a just transition to our clean energy future. 

And your email will help lawmakers see that we need to hold polluters accountable for the costs of their emissions--polluters should pay for the damage they've caused, and we can invest those funds to serve our communities.

To dig out of the Covid-19 economic crisis, we'll need a  climate, jobs, and justice recovery--one with the Climate and Community Investment Act at its center. Email your lawmaker today!
