New York Communities for Change

UPDATE on the Con Ed action from NYCC’s Climate Director the one and only Pete S.

BREAKING: A half dozen New Yorkers were just arrested at ConEd’s Manhattan HQ. Mayor Mamdani needs to help save working New Yorkers from this utility monopoly that is raising their bills every month while they pay their CEO Tim Cawley $20 million. Mamdani can do that in one very simple way: subsidize new heat pumps for New York families. If he wants to keep making this city affordable, he’ll do just that in the city budget in June. If he doesn’t, New Yorkers will keep getting squeezed by ConEd until they can no longer afford to live here. We need a Gas Free NYC!

This just goes to show how absurd ConEd is. They’d rather blame consumers for using social media than acknowledge how much they’re gouging our wallets to pay their CEO tens of millions of dollars every year. This is one of many reasons we need a Gas Free NYC!

Hochul before and Hochul now on the state’s climate law.

She’s gutting it now. Tell legislators to VOTE NO!

In 2025 disgraced former Mayor Eric Adams cut a dirty back room deal with Jeff Blau the CEO of Related Co. to give his company $2 BILLION DOLLARS in tax payer money to build out Hudson Yards - but New York City is in a six billion dollar budget crunch (due to deals like this from Eric Adams), where teachers and child care providers are being paid below wages!!

NYC let’s tell and their CEO we need that money to go to the working class people of the city, not to improve their little playground!!

Hochul delaying the climate law while gas prices skyrocket is absurd! We can’t afford expensive and climate-killing fossil fuels while Big Oil billionaires get richer and buyout our elected officials.

Our State Senate and Assembly mustn’t cave to Hochul in this year’s budget and delay the law. If they do, working New Yorkers will face more clinate catastrophe and rising costs in their bills and the pump.
