Clinton, NY- On Wednesday, April 7th, from 4-5pm, community members and climate activists will line the street and carry signs for a “Honk and Wave” thanking Senator Rachel May for co-sponsoring the CCIA. The CCIA would raise $10-$15 billion per year over the next ten years, paid for by a fee on corporate pollution. The money would invest in solutions that would quickly and equitably draw down New York’s emissions while building a stronger, more just economy for all. The bill is estimated to create and sustain 150,000 jobs over the next decade.
The rally will be one of several across the state, during which organizers in Long Island, Ithaca, Albany, Westchester, Buffalo, and NYC will call for the passage of the recently introduced New York Climate and Community Investment Act (CCIA, S4264A) and urging members of Congress to sign on to the THRIVE Agenda. The rallies are part of a statewide Climate, Jobs, and Justice Action week, which included more than 50 grassroots lobby visits and will conclude this Friday with a town hall featuring Senator Chuck Schumer.
Participants are required to wear masks and to practice physical distancing.
