#WinWind for NYC Thursday February 18th @11:00am – City Hall steps
Join us to tell Mayor Bill de Blasio to get offshore wind off the ground for NYC.
Last year he set the goal of powering 100% of NYC government operations with renewable energy. In response, over 50 organizations signed onto a letter celebrating the goal, and advocating for offshore wind as the best means of achieving it. This rally and press conference will provide a tremendous opportunity to formally deliver the letter, and kick off a 2016 campaign to secure a large-scale, long-term commitment to offshore wind development at the state level.

Sane Energy Project Presents SANE SOLUTIONS Friday, Feb 19 @ 6pm-9pm St Pete’s Lutheran Church Offshore Wind for NYC from 4 Perspectives
• Climate & Resilience
• Wildlife
• Labor
• Environmental Justice
• Business
We know that in order for New York State to go 100% renewable, we need 40% of our energy mix to come from offshore wind (tinyurl.com/NYJacobsonStudy). But how will building the “Rockaway” wind farm impact the local communities, workers, and wildlife? Join us for a lively panel discussion and audience Q&A about how we can unite various factions behind this much-needed green energy project.

Legislative Forum on State Divestment Bill plus Rally and Lobby Visits
Monday, February 29th @11:00am
Rally @ 10:30
Legislative Office Building
Rm. 944A Albany, NY
Join us in Albany to show support for the “Fossil Fuel Divestment Act”.
Rally, Attend the hearing, Lobby!
Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Assistant Speaker Felix W. Ortiz have introduced S.5873/A.8011-A, the “Fossil Fuel Divestment Act.” This legislation would require the State Comptroller to divest the New York State Common Retirement Fund from all holdings in the 200 largest publicly traded fossil fuel companies, as defined by carbon content in the companies’ proven oil, gas, and coal reserves (the CU 200). Divestment from coal companies would be completed within one year; divestment from all other fossil fuel companies would be completed by January 1, 2020. The forum will be an opportunity to discuss the need for this legislation from a variety of perspectives, financial, environmental, moral, etc., as well as how New York State can play a part in the global fossil fuel divestment movement.
We will have a short rally before the hearing beginning at 10:30 followed by legislative office visits. which we will set up for you in advance.
We are a totally volunteer and unfunded group and we rely on the support of our members to help us cover all the expenses of running our campaigns. We appreciate any contribution you can make at: http://350nyc.org/donate/
World governments have agreed to global action — but without a clear commitment on how and when they will transition off of fossil fuels. The way to make that transition a reality is by organizing to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate the just transition to 100% renewable energy. It’s time to break free from fossil fuels, and it’s up to the people to make it happen. Break Free will be a series of major coordinated actions around the globe that will take on the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects and companies.BE PART OF IT

Donate to 350NYC’s LED campaign and cut carbon now!
Our latest Sustainability Project seeks to provide LED lightbulbs for an entire building of low income seniors in NYC. There’s no easier path to immediate carbon reduction while also helping our neighbors reduce their electric bills.If every New Yorker switched just one compact fluorescent bulb to an LED bulb, NYC would collectively cut over 125 million pounds of carbon emissions per year!

Call to Action! Please call Governor Cuomo and tell him to demand action to STOP the AIM pipeline now! 518-474-8390
Governor Cuomo is actively exerting every possible legal and regulatory measure to close down the troubled Indian Point nuclear power facility, but continues to remain silent about the dangerous high pressure AIM gas pipeline under construction only 105 feet from critical structures at the nuclear plant posing an unacceptable risk to millions of people even if thenuclear plant is closed. Safety experts urgently warn that a pipeline rupture at Indian Point poses a serious threat to more than 20 million residents within a 50 mile radius in the NY tri-state region. For more info: https://sape2016.org
TAKE ACTION! Call Cuomo to Stop the Constitution Pipeline 518-474-8390 Urge him to deny the 401 Quality Certificate!
The Constitution Pipeline is a joint venture between Williams Companies, Inc. and Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation. As proposed, this pipeline would would transport fracked gas for 121 miles from Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania to Schoharie County, New York.
In order for this dangerous, dirty project to move forward, it still needs an important Water Quality Certificate from Governor Cuomo’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The DEC could decide at any time whether or not to issue this certificate, which is why it’s so important to take action now.
Stop the Pilgrim Pipeline
Watch the webinar to learn the status and threat of the Pilgrim Pipelines, with a capacity for 400,000 barrels of oil per day (half of Keystone) through NY/NJ and for possible export through New York Harbor.
The resolution calls upon the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission NOT to re-license Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. Your help is needed! More info here
