PRRIA.docx2025.11.24 Memo of Support S1464_A1749 .pdfRSVP to Deadline Hochul 4.18.26
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is taking us backwards on policies that protect the environment and save New Yorkers money on our bills. Utility bills are unaffordable. Good clean energy jobs are disappearing. Air pollution kills thousands of New Yorkers each year.
That is why thousands of us are making the pledge to march in Albany, NY on Saturday, April 18th. It’s Deadline Hochul! Transportation is being coordinated and provided across the state.
Hochul is doing the bidding of the oil and gas industries, not standing up for what New Yorkers need.
We want lower utility bills;
We want good, union jobs;
We want clean air, not a ruined future.
Make the Pledge to March in Albany for the Deadline Hochul day of action on Saturday, April 18th. RSVP here
