As state budget negotiations proceed, we’ve launched a Budget Tracker — a one-stop reference on where things stand with our top priorities in the Executive, Senate, and Assembly budget proposals. We’ll update it as the process unfolds. Learn more: buff.ly/fzJz4VF

Nice to see our @NY4P + Harlem Walk & Talk on PIX11 News highlighting what these events are all about: bringing community, partners, and electeds together to spotlight parks and open space wins, needs, and opportunities.

Hear from Matt Berlin, CEO of NYLCV’s partner, #NYCSBUS, on how his #CleanRide4Kids performed this past winter in extreme cold and snow. “We’ve got to do what we can to provide cleaner air and quieter rides for the precious cargo we transport.” buff.ly/lBfOKxK

The proposed cuts “are a prime example of penny wise & pound foolish,” said AM @BillMagnarelli at a rally this week in Albany. “NY will not be able to meet its climate & energy goals unless we can upgrade the energy efficiency of its aging housing stock.” eenews.net/articles/lawma…

Families in Central NY & the Mohawk Valley are facing soaring energy costs. Congressman John Mannion is helping fight back by co-sponsoring the Energy Bills Relief Act to restore clean energy tax credits and unblock projects. Thank you, @JohnMannionNY22!

Pier pressure works! Everyone deserves access to reliable, affordable, clean transport - and West Harlem needs a ferry stop. Proud to stand with @shaunabreu calling for West Harlem Piers to bring this essential service to the community. @nycferry buff.ly/N8enx0V

A final #EarthMonth post! 🌎 NYLCV’s Community Engagement Manager Juan Torres engaged STEM students at the “How Things Work” event at Bronx Community College. Students learned about the ESB3 Bronx & Beyond project, offshore wind, parks, ESBs & BESS. Happy Earth Month!

A huge congratulations to NYLCV endorsed candidate @CarlMichaelW for his Election to the @NYCCouncil! He will be representing Manhattan’s Council District 3.

Good news - @NYSERDA announced the launch of a land-based #CleanEnergy solicitation! This will accelerate New York’s energy transition, while delivering reliable, affordable energy to New Yorkers. buff.ly/YUtKVNg

Report from @NYCComptroller: NYC’s #UrbanForest = major financial & environmental benefits. Our trees reduce cooling costs, remove 1,100 tons of air pollutants & absorb 1 billion+ gallons of stormwater - saving NYC ~$120.6 million annually. Highlights: buff.ly/fp5kH69

Next week, we're calling @NYCCouncil members to demand @NYCParks budget restorations and investment in our city's parks system. Call anytime May 4-8, or join the Play Fair phone banking blitz 5/7 from 12-2pm, remote or in person at NY4P HQ. bit.ly/parksphonebank

What a way to celebrate #EarthMonth! Pictured: Stony Brook University's Mascot “Wolfie the Seawolf” praising renewable energy and wearing our pin at Stony Brook’s #EarthStock 2026! Thanks, Wolfie!!

Great EV news from @GovKathyHochul! The Governor has issued $30 million toward tax rebates for consumers buying EVs. Read our joint statement with @greenwatchdogNY, @nature_ny, @EnvDefenseFund, @NRDC, and Evergreen Action: tinyurl.com/mwu99h6

NYLCV tabled at two events this past weekend: the Larchmont Earth Day Celebration, where we were joined by Congressman @LatimerforNY & Assemblymember @SteveOtis91, and the House of Yes Earth Fest. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect and celebrate #EarthMonth with us!

Great time at #CastleHill @ymcanyc’s Healthy Kids Day! The Bronx’s Castle Hill community showed up with energy, joy & heart - & learned about the #NYCSBUS #ElectricSchoolBuses, which will make NYC cleaner & safer for kids & communities. Happy #EarthWeek!

Amazing Earth Day News! @ZohranKMamdani announced the NYCHA sustainability agenda, setting sustainability goals: clean H/C systems, induction stoves + EV charging. The City will double the number of new solar tax abatement benefits granted since 2022. buff.ly/9JL8R3e

BESS 101: Battery storage is a safe and effective way of improving grid reliability—creating a more resilient and affordable energy network. Thank you @nylcv and Councilwoman @catearogers for organizing the webinar and inviting ACE NY's Kyle Rabin as a presenter. @NYBatteryEnergy

Last week, Congr. @Tom_Suozzi introduced the SEPTIC Act—a win for clean water & public health. The bill ensures septic upgrade grants aren’t taxed, lowering costs for homeowners. “Everyone deserves access to clean water,” said NYLCV Pres. @JulieTighe17. buff.ly/8LhgJm7
