In 2021, the people of New York voted overwhelmingly to pass the New York Green Amendment—its constitutional recognition and protection for our inalienable human right to clean water and air, and a healthful environment.
Passage of the New York Green Amendment was truly “a dream realized”.
Since that magical moment, when the people of New York exercised our democratic rights to amend our state constitution, government leaders have failed to join us in our environmental protection and environmental justice goals.
Rather than uplift, defend and embrace our New York Green Amendment, the NY State Attorney General has gone to court with legal arguments that seek to undermine and narrow it.
Please sign on to urge the NY Attorney General to embrace the NY Green Amendment as an empowering opportunity to better protect the people of New York, to address environmental racism, and to create a legacy of protection for all generations of New Yorkers.
Our collective voices secured passage of our New York Green Amendment.
Today our collective voices are needed to ensure it has strength, meaning and vitality.
