We fight climate change, conserve land and water, and protect public health in New York State through political action.

Suffolk County just received a major boost in its fight against water pollution. Governor Hochul announced $30 million in funding to help homeowners replace outdated septic systems with advanced, cleaner technology. This move addresses decades of groundwater contamination on Long Island and builds on state efforts to ensure cleaner water long-term.

A proposed 90% federal funding cut endangers New York’s clean water and poses threats to infrastructure upgrades and public health protections. With possible state budget adjustments on the horizon, advocates are pushing to protect full funding under state revolving funds while also defending key programs such as the Clean Water Infrastructure Act from potential roll backs.

On July 4th, President Trump signed the “Big Ugly Bill,” gutting core climate policies through cutting clean energy tax credits, EV incentives, raising energy costs, and jeopardizing over a million jobs. State and local level climate leadership will be more important than ever as we face the repercussions of this bill.
