Remember Dimock PA? This week Cabot Oil and Gas was charged with felonies, including the illegal discharge of industrial waste! The community of Dimock has been heavily impacted by fracking and we hope these charges stick! #nofracking #banfracking #drillingisntsafe @MarkRuffalo

.@GovernorShapiro this #EarthDay2024 I'm standing w/ the people of Dimock PA, who have been poisoned from #fracking operations, to ask you to deliver on your promise to get them clean drinking water. You made this promise over 1 yr ago & still nothing 🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=eS-1nsdE…

Higher energy bills for our families. Worse for the climate than coal. Destroying local communities & economies. More LNG exports are bad for our country. Thank you, @POTUS & @SecGranholm, for taking this step in the right direction to pause LNG export approvals #StopLNG.

It was an honor to welcome members of the  Haudenosaunee Confederacy in Croton last night during their incredible 1,500 mile canoe journey of the “Great Loop” from Maine to New York. I wish you the best of luck with the final leg of your journey.

I honestly can't understand anyone who thinks we should let huge multinational oil companies off the hook, and instead saddle NYers with the costs of recovering from and protecting against climate-driven damage. TY @SolagesNY for laying it out so clearly. gothamgazette.com/130-opinio…

For those of you in New York state, this is a great opportunity to protect bees, birds, butterflies and more. Please contact your legislators and urge them to support the Birds and the Bees Protection Act. New Jersey needs a bill like this too! #conserveNJ
