One of our key campaigns is the work 350Brooklyn does to advance climate legislation in New York State. We are stalwart members of the New York Renews coalition, and we often work in cooperation with other groups and coalitions. We support a just transition to 100% renewable energy, push to ban the construction of all new fossil fuel infrastructure, and support taxing polluters to support a just transition. Our focus is on the nine State Senators and twenty-one Assembly Members who represent Brooklyn neighborhoods, working to persuade them to pass strong climate legislation in Albany.
At the federal level 350Brooklyn works to advance genuinely effective climate legislation in Washington that supports climate justice. We focus on Brooklyn’s delegation to Congress through applauding their support for good climate legislation or working to persuade them to support such legislation.
The Legislation Workgroup organizes town halls, meets with legislators, canvasses in our neighborhoods, researches legislation, makes phone calls, writes letters, posts on social media, testifies at public hearings,, and does everything we can to get our state government to take bold climate action.
