The bill would allow qualified buyers, like community land trusts or other owners with track records in preservation, first dibs on certain buildings when they go up for sale. citylimits.org/council-pass...

BREAKING: A bombshell memo published from senior insurance professionals sounds the alarm on the industry’s deliberate tweaking of climate loss models. They warn that insurers are creating conditions that may cause another global financial crisis. And it gets worse.🧵

We’re rallying with allies on 29th street in Brooklyn to stop the Gowanus fracked gas power plant proposed for this site by a private equity firm that builds data centers. 😱 Hochul must stop this huge new potential pollution source, which would also raise utility bills!

NYC, this is the agenda. The NYC Council Progressive Caucus is proud to roll out our legislative priorities for the year ahead, for a more affordable, just, and safer city. Read more about our legislative priorities at 🔗nycprogressives.com/legislative-priorities-26 or in the link in our bio

Years ago, we supported the huge CHPE transmission project to bring hydropower from Quebec to NYC. It’s great to see it’s now up and running, lowering both electricity prices and pollution. 🎉 800 megawatts of clean energy is flowing into NYC’s electric grid atm, enough to power 800k homes. 👏

Unfortunately Hochul has no plan for the next big project to bring renewable energy from upstate into NYC. She didn’t support Clean Path, another big transmission project, that would have done that. She’s raising prices and pollution by keeping NYC on gas powe

Mayor Mamdani should close the REBNY-created loophole in our Green New Deal law, Local Law 97. Closing this loophole would help prevent pollution, protect thousands of future jobs and lower utility bills through energy efficiency. Fact sheet below.

Hochul’s order, which is much weaker than the data center moratorium the legislature passed, attempts to make it look like she’s acting as the election looms. She’s doing everything she can, politically, to protect tech billionaires, developers & AI. Sign the bill, Hochul!

Thanks to Speaker Menin, Councilmenbers Gennaro, Marte, Aviles & others, NYC’s budget has small $ to start a program: ✅ cut energy bills ✅ create good, union jobs ✅ reduce pollution $2m, but not $10m. Could be the start of something truly great if @mayor.nyc.gov gets on board!

This Eric Adams regulatory loophole allows billionaire owners to evade reducing 85% of the pollution coming from their office buildings. It’s REBNY’s play. If this real estate loophole isn’t closed, it will cost thousands of good jobs, raise energy bills & increase pollution. 🧵

Climate experts worry the launch of renewable energy credits could set back the city’s decarbonization goals, saying property owners could use them to offset their buildings' emissions in lieu of making energy efficiency upgrades. citylimits.org/potential-lo...

Reminder to friends: Z won't be able to deliver his agenda unless the state legislature will hold the line against Governor Hochul and force her to #TaxTheRich. To do that, we need to win at least 7 Leftist Assembly primaries today. So if you can join us in the field anytime before 9pm, please do.

NYC, today is Primary Day. Polls are open NOW and close at 9 PM tonight. Be sure to get your vote in before then. For your polling site and more information, go to vote.nyc. Make your voice heard, New York City.

NYC’s pension funds can protect pension fund returns and tackle climate risk at the same time. They’re complementary, not contradictory! NYCC statement is response to @marklevinenyc.bsky.social announcement linked ⬇️

New York Comptroller Mark Levine takes a big first step towards breaking up with climate wreckers Blackrock and State Street! Thanks to @nychange and everyone else who's pushed hard for this. More pushing required! comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/nyc...

@nychange.bsky.social's been doing the hard groundwork in Southeast Queens of organizing— • Tenants; • Black + Brown homeowners who now risk displacement; and • Neighbors banding together against environmental racism. Their endorsement of @osterforus.bsky.social means a lot and matters materially.

Oster Bryan@osterforus.bsky.social

I am grateful to earn the endorsement of New York Communities for Change. This organization has been on the ground fighting for homeowners- fighting deed theft and tax liens- and fighting for ice accountability. I look forward to organizing with them in the future.
