Art Build for DEFEND NEW YORK, FUND OUR FUTURES!
Sat, March 7th, 10 AM-8 PM
Many Hands Workshop
RSVP bit.ly/4l2wzvv
This art will be used on March 10th, when New Yorkers from every corner of the state will converge on Albany to demand accountability from @GovKathyHochul
Join us tomorrow at noon for Power Hour, where we'll do a quick action to call our state legislators to voice our support for the Climate Law. Tell them we don't buy the gas industry nonsense - we know that energy is unaffordable precisely because we're stuck using gas.
π£ NEW REPORT π£ Major companies and nonprofits issue millions of co-branded credit cards with the largest U.S. banks. π³
Those partnerships represent enormous market power - and real leverage to demand climate responsibility from the financial sector. π¦
Read the report at betteroptionsreport.org
On March 10, we're going to Albany to tell Gov. Hochul: DEFEND NY, FUND OUR FUTURE!
In a time of crisis, we need bold action to protect immigrants, make polluters pay, and tax the rich!

Climate Check's new episode is live. Tune in here to listen to Audrey's conversation with Jodi Smits Anderson. bit.ly/4kVbqTD
Hear the answers from our panel of experts: Claudia Villar-Leeman of New York Battery Storage and Energy Storage Technology Consortium; Bill Oberkehr from New York Energy Research and Development Authority, and Brooklyn College philosophy and urban sustainability professor Michael Menser.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are coming to our neighborhoods. How will they affect electricity bills? Our vulnerability to blackouts? Our safety? Join us for this discussion at Brooklyn Public Libraryβs Central branch in the Info Commons rooms. For more info, email info@350Brooklyn.org.
We'll spend Power Hour reaching out to City Councilmembers and inviting them to attend the forum. If you've wanted to know more about battery energy storage systems, or want to get to know your new City Council, tomorrow is the perfect opportunity. See you there!
These systems are being installed all over Brooklyn, and we want our new City Council to be able to speak knowledgeably about them when constituents have questions. That's why Sara is helping organize a public forum on the topic later this month!
Tomorrow at noon on Zoom! We have something new and different for you. Sara Gronim will lead us through an excellent action to help support new battery energy storage systems on NYC's power grid.
We support the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power Act. Here's an eloquent explanation why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLo...
Weβll call on Mamdani and the Council to make heat pumps affordable for all and end new oil and gas boiler installations.
Please bring your utility bills to the rally to help show our outrage!
Join us to send a message to Mayor Mamdani and the City Council: New Yorkers want lower bills, good jobs, and clean air. Rally to demand an end to dirty, expensive oil and gas boilers and for energy-efficient, money-saving heat pumps.
GasFreeNYC Rally!!! TUES, FEB 3rd, β’ 12 - 1PM
National Grid, 345 Jay Street, Brooklyn
Weβre in a climate crisis, and our utility bills are too damn high! www.mobilize.us/fww/event/87...
Five years after the Capitol attack, America is a #fossilfueledfascist petro state. Political violence is at its highest level since the 1970s, and global experts classify the US as an βelectoral autocracyβ rather than a full democracy. That should alarm all of us.

This was our final podcast episode of the year, perfectly in tune with the holiday spirit β a reminder to keep that spirit of care and community alive all year long, not just in December. β¨
The group first came together during the pandemic, focusing on getting food and medical supplies to people who needed them most. Since then, theyβve partnered with local food pantries, soup kitchens, housing cooperatives, senior centers, and hospitals. π«Ά
ποΈOur host, Audrey, is joined by Erika Jozwiak and Katie Zwick β two incredible administrative members of North Brooklyn Mutual Aid -- a fully volunteer-run collective built on one powerful idea: neighbors helping neighbors.
