Support Legislation
SIGH Act
Schools Impacted by Gross Highways
Proposes measures to protect students within 500 feet of highways from harmful pollution
Establishes guidelines and funding for infrastructure improvements near schools to mitigate exposure to highway emissions
Clean Deliveries Act
Establishes an indirect source rule for e-commerce mega-warehouses 50,000 square feet or greater and directs the DEC to conduct a facility by facility review of these warehouses
This legislation would reduce transportation emissions and improve air quality in communities
NY Heat Act
Residents often have limited access to affordable housing and are more likely to live in neighborhoods with older, inefficient heating systems, resulting in higher energy costs and poorer indoor air quality
If passed in full, the NY Heat Act would protect our lungs and our wallets by steering utilities towards affordable, zero emissions heating for all New Yorkers
Community Land Act
Aims to empower local communities by providing them with opportunities to acquire and manage land collectively
Seeks to address issues of gentrification and displacement by facilitating community ownership and stewardship of land, allowing residents to have a say in how their neighborhoods develop and ensuring affordable housing and community spaces.
