NY: New York Volunteer Meeting: The Budget Is a Climate Disaster; What’s Next?

Published Apr 19, 2024

**The bad news**: New York’s budget is a climate disaster.

**The good news**: We can still pass crucial legislation this session — and we have plans to get the job done.

Speaker Heastie and his Assembly colleagues refused to pass the NY HEAT Act and Climate Change Superfund Act in the budget. Instead, Heastie and the Assembly sided with polluters over people, risking a future with more costly and dangerous climate chaos and skyrocketing energy bills.

There is still time remaining in the legislative session, though, to accomplish what we can and must do. **Join us to discuss next steps and opportunities to take action and get involved.**
