This website was created to communicate the agenda of a broad movement of organizations urging New York Governor Kathy Hochul to make a major commitment to and investment in an affordable, equitable and climate-friendly transition for our homes and buildings in New York State.
The first letter to Governor Hochul was sent tin 2021 and the outcome of that letter and subsequent advocacy was a commitment from the Governor to 2 million “climate-friendly” homes in her 2022 State of the State address, and the inclusion of several of the policy requests in her executive budget. Since, 2022, we have continued to build momentum, and have sent annual platform letters to the Governor outlining a collective movement agenda.
Each year, more organizations have joined in the development of the platform, and we have continued to build broad movement momentum for the policies outlined in the letters.
