Donald Trump is officially in office and New Yorkers are already building collective power to fight against a dangerous anti-worker, anti-climate, and anti-migrant agenda. Local leaders must step up and join our movement. Post-election, State and City legislators have markedly shifted focus toward affordability and families. But the policy proposals offered don’t match the flowery rhetoric. When a dozen eggs cost $9 and rent is (still) too damn high, band-aid fixes such as one-time payments and small tax cuts just aren’t enough. What we need is a fundamental shift in how our economic system works, tilting the power toward our workers, families, and communities. In this newsletter, we’re presenting our 2025 legislative agenda built by our grassroots coalitions, not corporate lobbyists. This is a powerful set of proposals that will actually take on poverty, pollution, and corporate abuse, and move us toward A Green, Affordable New York. |

Make Polluters Pay. New York’s Cap, Trade, and Invest program has the potential to “cap” greenhouse emissions from corporate polluters and “invest” the revenue into community-led climate action. We’re fighting to make sure it’s done right: no loopholes for fossil fuel corporations and real accountability and penalties for over-polluting. With a strong cap-and-invest program we can make polluters pay, improve public health, and create green jobs. |
