Decarbonize CUNY! Rally and NYPA Hearing
Wednesday, November 20, 5 PM, John Jay College
New York State is failing to meet its climate goals. CUNY’s outdated, polluting buildings rely on fossil fuels that poison our communities and endanger our futures. The PSC is building on the momentum of this fall’s Decarbonize CUNY Town Halls to continue demanding the New York Power Authority (NYPA) act NOW to decarbonize CUNY buildings and to build large-scale public renewables across New York State! NYPA is only hosting one public hearing in NYC. The hearing will be at John Jay College in the Lynch Auditorium on Wednesday, November 20th. There is a morning session from 10:00 AM – Noon and an evening session from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. PSC members will also join our partners at Public Power NY for a public rally that same day at 5PM! Sign up here to join us for the rally, or to commit to testifying. And check out this document for more background on what testifying entails.
Help keep up the pressure to Decarbonize New York!
