On April 23 thousands of New Yorkers will gather in Albany to press Governor Cuomo to walk the talk on climate.

In his 2017 State of the State address, Governor Cuomo promised to “double down on the fight against dirty fossil fuels”. Instead, and on his watch, there has been an expansion in the construction of gas pipelines, compressor stations, and power plants across the state. Fleets of compressed-gas trucks now ply rural roads, and explosive oil trains run alongside residential communities. Moreover, the state continues to import frack waste from Pennsylvania. Medical associations have documented increased cancer rates and respiratory problems as a result of the buildout, with pregnant women, children, and the elderly most at risk.

Enough is enough! It’s time to step up our resistance to the expansion of fracked gas infrastructure and demand that Governor Cuomo halt these projects and move the state forward with a rapid and just transition to 100% renewable energy.

For the past year, Sane Energy Project has played a leadership role in organizing the April 23mass action in Albany. In the coming weeks we’ll be hosting six regional meetings and an Action Camp to prepare people for the march and rally, and, for those willing to risk arrest, nonviolent civil disobedience.

Your donation now will support these meetings and help us continue to mobilize thousands of people to turn up the volume on April 23 and move New York State to clean energy NOW.
