Mayor Adams’ proposed budget cuts ignore our worsening climate crisis and the threat it poses to New Yorkers. We won’t allow it.
Will you make a call to NYC elected leadership and urge them to fight for major climate investments in this year's City budget?
We're calling for Green, Healthy Schools and clean buildings so that all New Yorkers have access to clean air, healthy learning environments, and safe workplaces. We’re also calling for the proper implementation of NYC’s Dirty Buildings law, Local Law 97, which will cut building emissions by 40 percent by the end of the decade if done right. We need budget investments to make that happen
New York City cannot survive the climate crisis on austerity budgets. Now is the time to come together and wield our collective power. Join us to fight for a healthy and livable future.
Call Script:
- Hello, I am a constituent calling to urge the Council Member to support $600 million in the budget for Green, Healthy Schools.
- NYC public schools’ infrastructure is crumbling and runs on dirty fossil fuels. Many haven’t been updated in decades, which is affecting students’ health and learning environment.
- Our city’s students, teachers, and school staff deserve to breathe clean air regardless of zip code.
- I urge the Council Member to invest $600 million in our public schools because it will save the city money on utilities, create green jobs, and improve student performance and attendance.
- It will also help New York City to meet its climate goals. We need sufficient staffing and no budget cuts to administrative services to clean up our dirty buildings.
**The following council members already support our priorities!** But they tally all calls so it’s still important to thank them for their support.
If you are calling the following Council Members, say THANK YOU for supporting Green, Healthy Schools and funding Local Law 97
