BANS OFF OUR BODIES

Gather at 12pm at Cadman Plaza, march across the Brooklyn Bridge, and then land at Foley Square for a "Welcome Village" from 3-6pm

A leaked draft US Supreme Court majority opinion explicitly overturns Roe v. Wade, reversing nearly 50 years of precedent and explicitly ending federal constitutional protections for abortion. Tewnty six states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people might live without local access to abortion, and lose the power and freedom to make their own personal reproductive health care decisions.

Join Planned Parenthood and others across across the country to demonstrate that people support abortion access, and to show that we won’t back down.

VERY IMPORTANT CALLS MUST BE MADE THIS WEEK
Bill S1917 just passed out of committee in the State Senate. Normal protesting activities could be criminalized under this law. Activists’ voices may be silenced. We fought this last year in both Nassau and Suffolk and now we MUST fight it again.

The bill designates offenses against uniformed police officers, firefighters, and medical service personnel as hate crimes, by including them as a protected class. A protected class is a group sharing a common trait and are legally protected from being discriminated against on the trait’s basis, such as being born with a specific skin color, a disability, or a specific gender. 

 Wearing a uniform is not a trait; it comes with jobs these law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical service personnel have chosen and can leave any time. This bill must be stopped. 

Call our State Senators
Liz Krueger: Phone: (212) 490-9535
José M. Serrano: Phone: (212)-828-5829
and
State Senate Majority leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins 518-455-2585

MAKE CALLS THIS WEEK
From Common Cause: ban hybrid voting machines

We need to contact our representatives to urge them to pass the Hybrid Voting Machine Ban bill as soon as possible. Hybrid machines pose a security risk: they can produce unreliable paper ballots, making audits nearly impossible. They are also cumbersome and expensive. Banning hybrid machines and barcodes on ballots will give New York voters confidence that their vote is cast and counted accurately.

Call your representatives to tell them that taxpayer money shouldn't be spent on these unreliable and expensive machines. We need secure elections.

Dangerous Permits for Crypto Mining
Call Governor Hochul every day before March 31st at 866-942-5138
The Greenidge plant’s air quality permit is currently under review – with a March 31 deadline – so now is the moment for Governor Hochul to determine whether she’ll allow cryptocurrency mining to undercut New York’s climate goals. The kind of crypto mining used to make Bitcoin and other crypto currencies uses thousands of computers to solve complex math equations. According to the New York Times, this practice consumes more power than some entire countries. If allowed, crypto mining operations would drastically undermine the state’s climate goals established under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).

It only takes 2 minutes to call 866-942-5138 and leave a voicemail any time, and it's extremely important.

Gas Transmission Lines at Indian Point

Three gas transmission pipelines crisscross Indian Point nuclear facility in Buchanan, NY near critical safety infrastructure and two earthquake faults. Decommissioning operations intensify the risks in close proximity to highly radioactive waste. Medical disaster experts have repeatedly warned that a pipeline rupture at this site could result in a radioactive disaster. The recent heightened threat of cyberterrorism is an added alarm.
