The climate crisis is HERE 🔥🌀🌊😱 and threatening NY kids. @govkathyhochul.bsky.social says she cares about families — now it’s time to prove it! Kids deserve better than a slow and sleepy Gov Slochul delaying climate action 🏁🐌 Here's what we're asking for.. 1/4🧵

When we #FundClimate we create a healthier and safer city for all our children! Today we got together to demand @govkathyhochul.bsky.social #FundClimate in her budget, #ReleaseTheRegs for Cap&Invest and pass #NYHeatAct! Hurry Up Hochul! Protect kids not polluters and fund climate NOW!

Join Climate Families tomorrow 2/23 at Union Square Park from 11am-1pm for organizing, art making, and storytime for the planet 🌍 Real action and community 👇✨

This week families are stopping by their assembly members' offices with kids to distribute information about #NYHEATAct which would reduce our reliance on polluting fossil gas AND make bills affordable. Here's one team after visiting AM Epstein! Democracy in action 💪🔥 #CleanerHeatLowerBills

We’re outraged that congestion pricing is under attack. Our kids deserve to breathe clean air and New Yorkers overwhelmingly support limiting congestion & funding transit. Shame on Tr*mp & Phil Murphy for fueling pollution & defunding transit.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

i hope new jersey democratic governor phil murphy is proud of himself for working with trump to doom NYC congestion pricing. hope aligning with a fascist was worth it, phil.

We can and must continue #climateaction in NYS this year: Join us for a fun 🐌 filled #hurryuphochul play date, storytime📚 & art build on 2/23 in USQ: actionnetwork.org/events/hurry...

Scenes from a lively rally with hundreds of constituents outside @schumer.senate.gov’s demanding he Resist or Resign! Do your job, Chuck - Democrats should be fighting coups not performing “bipartisanship” with fascists. Cc: @indivisible.org @socialists.nyc

Amazing turnout and energy from the crowd at the Mayoral Forum on Climate tonight! Fighting talk from the candidates on greening buildings and schools, electric school buses, gas infrastructure, implementing LL97, investing in parks, and divesting from fossil fuels! And so much more!

In Albany at the state capitol representing @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social! We need our legislators to pass the NY HEAT ACT now!!! #climateaction #climatejustice #nyheat

Thanks for showing up for us in Albany to tell Gov Hochul: Later is too late! With a climate denier in the White House, NY must lead the way on climate so we need @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social to step it up! Here's a start: Pass the #NYHEAT Act and release the Cap&Invest regs!

Tonight! actionnetwork.org/events/new-m...

remarkable bravery

Freezing rain + Sunday scaries are nothing in the face of @schumer.senate.gov’s weakness as Minority Leader — he needs to take *several* pages out of McConnell’s playbook 📖 It’s a coup, where are YOU?! Fight or Resign, Chuck. @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

NYC parents: Want to do something about climate change? To teach your kids that their actions as democratic citizens matter? Climate Families has a gathering this Sunday 3-5pm at Three’s Brewing to talk about what we can do now together. RSVP link here: bit.ly/CFGathering #greensky #climatejustice

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

But “states rights”🙄@govkathleenhochul.bsky.social congestion pricing is working. It’s great. Fight for it.

“I’ve written about climate refugees, and that this is going to happen. Now I am one.” As the LA fires became the 2nd disaster in a year to hit a major centre of climate research, scientists are finding themselves facing the very dangers they warn about. @eroston.bsky.social @laurenthal.bsky.social

So excited that CFNYC leader @hiksmash.bsky.social is among this cohort & for our continued partnership with @ourkidsclimate.bsky.social!

We unequivocally stand with trans kids, immigrant kids and their families and expect our elected leaders in NYC and NYS to protect the rights of the trans and immigrant communities in and outside of schools. Period.

Today's a good day to repost my TED Talk, which talks about how we all must come together at activists, disruptors, and bridge-builders to save ourselves. The talk is about the climate crisis, but is also can help save ourselves from dictatorship (and even fascism): go.ted.com/danarfisher

Want to learn more about how we do age-appropriate climate activism w/ kids & families? Worried about the climate crisis and want to DO something about it? Been to an action and want to get more involved? Join us to talk through all things Climate families NYC! RSVP: bit.ly/CFNYCWelcome

Climate Crises Disrupted Schooling For 242 Million Children In 2024, says Unicef #climatecrisis www.forbes.com/sites/unicef...

NYC Parents: the climate movement needs you more than ever, and so do our kids. Local actions MATTER. And coming together in community helps stave off despair. Trust me! Join us!

Community and action are the antidotes to despair. Join Climate Families NYC for drinks, snacks, community and discussion on Feb. 2nd about how we move forward together for #climatejustice in the Trump era. RSVP at bit.ly/CFGathering

While Trump rolls back climate progress and California burns, @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social’s executive budget includes a pathetic 200,000 million for climate this year. This depiction from @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social couldn’t be more accurate. 🐌 Shame on you Kathy for abandoning our children.

Who should pick up the tab for the billions of dollars in damages from these deadly fires in LA? The fossil fuel industry who lied about climate change for decades, that's who. Brilliant must read from @cadavejones.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...

Don't let go of reality, no matter what the Trumpers say billmckibben.substack.com/p/for-reality

Hurry up, @govkathyhochul.bsky.social!!

#PeoplesMarch with @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social. Fighting fascism, Oligarchy and fossil fuels are family values.💚✌️🌎

Hurry up, Hochul! 🐌

Stop dragging your feet @govkathyhochul.bsky.social ! Under the CLCPA you have a legal obligation to meet the climate mandates NY established! Implement cap-and-invest today and include NY HEAT in the budget!

The goals in New York’s landmark climate law are under threat because Governor SLOchul isn’t doing enough. For the physical and financial health of children current and future, the Governor should protect what we love by implementing Cap and Invest and funding #NYHeat

Hey New Yorkers, Kathy Hochul is stalling on climate action. Join @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social in telling her to implement cap-and-invest now and pass the NY HEAT Act in this year's budget.

Hey @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social the world is on 🔥, families can’t afford more delays on climate action. Don’t be a 🐌🐌, pass #NYHEAT & #CapAndInvest! #HurryUpHochul @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social

The NY HEAT act is good for working families and good for the climate. Can we count on you for leadership on these issues, Governor?

What we do in NYS matters for us, and for the whole🌏, regardless of who is in the WH. Join us for a mini-training on Albany& our #HurryUpHochul campaign. RSVP at bit.ly/Albany101 Note, that big kids AND grown ups are welcome to attend. Hope to see you there!

Ok I don’t know how you would make a snail look like Hochul but they did it! 🤣

How awesome is this?? @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social (follow them!) always brings lots of creativity and humor when addressing our #1 collective concern: the #climatecrisis

Introducing…. KATHY SLOCHUL🐌, & our new campaign: Hurry Up Hochul! Protect Kids, Not Polluters! Today @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social punted the cap-and-invest program & didn’t even mention NY HEAT😡 It’s time to Protect Kids, Not Polluters! If you agree, join us: climatefamiliesnyc.org/hochul2025
