NY's legislature passed what could become a first-in-the-nation data center moratorium. It is a testament to the power of organizers, residents, and frontline communities across NY, whose advocacy has helped secure this win. Time to sign, @GovKathyHochul!

There is a big push to pass the data center moratorium A11560/S10642 before end of session — TODAY.
If it doesn't go to committee today, it's dead for this session.

🌍 On Thursday, 4/23, @NYPIRG and our climate allies were at City Hall in Manhattan for the the fifth and final stop of our statewide "Energy Hog" bus tour calling on New York to crack down on AI data centers and other energy-intensive infrastructure! ⚡🐷

The Governor's budget included nearly 25% less in IOLA funding than needed. The Senate recommends restoring $102.5M an additional $50M for civil legal services. Time is of the essence — take action now: actionnetwork.org/letters/su…

The Governor is trying to weaken the CLCPA behind closed doors. Changes to our climate policy should not be rushed through budget negotiations.
Tell Governor Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins: implement the CLCPA—not weaken it: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

This isn’t a punchline, it’s reality.
Today, 450,000 New Yorkers were informed that they will lose their health coverage starting July 1st. Call upon the Governor and the Legislature to protect access to health insurance in the final budget: bit.ly/ProtectHealthCoverage.

We urge @GovKathyHochul and the Legislature to ensure full IOLA funding is included in the final enacted budget. New Yorkers facing legal crises deserve nothing less.

Thank you to legislative leaders who helped make this possible – including @AndreaSCousins, @LizKrueger, @LuisSepulvedaNY, @CharlesDLavine, @JGPretlow, and Speaker Carl Heastie – for prioritizing access to justice.

🚨 New York must restore full IOLA funding in the final budget. @GovKathyHochul’s 30-day amendments did NOT provide the full $102.5M requested for the IOLA Fund – putting civil legal services at risk.

This is NOT taxpayer money.
IOLA funds come from interest on attorney escrow accounts and are held by statute solely to support civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.

For-hire vehicles are a major part of transportation in NY — but only 7% of NYC’s fleet is wheelchair accessible.
Our new report shows riders who need accessible vehicles face longer waits and unavailable rides statewide.
