🚨 WE’RE HITTING THE ROAD 🚨 From August 22–30, I’ll be traveling across New York State for my “New York Fights AI Data Centers” statewide tour to rally in support of Governor Hochul signing the Responsible Data Center Development Act (S.10642/A.11560)! #NewYorkFightsAIDataCenters

BREAKING: @governor.ny.gov just issued an Executive Order that includes a moratorium on new data centers 🎉 This victory will put the brakes on dozens of planned projects and is the result of a large, growing movement to stop these extractive facilities.

New York has become the first state in the country to enact a data center moratorium! www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/07/14/g...

Gov. Hochul’s Data Center Moratorium is Huge Step Forward in Protecting New York Communities

"This must be only the first step Governor Hochul takes, though."

foodandwaterwatch.org

We have on Friday to put a pause on data centers in NY. Assembly members must tell Speaker Heastie that the moratorium bill is a priority that must be voted on and passed this session. Can you make a call today? act.foodandwaterwatch.org/page/98314/a...

Call your legislators and tell them to vote no on Hochul's terrible budget bill! www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/05/26/l...

🎯 Right now is the time for NYers to make a call to your state assemblyperson and senator and urge them to reject Governor Hochul’s attack on NY’s climate law. Hochul’s attack would *raise* our utility bills because gas is expensive. Call NOW!

The "all of the above" energy agenda promoted by Hochul is failing New Yorkers. Fuel costs are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's war with Iran -- the only solution to protect consumers and build energy independence is by investing in renewable energy! www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/03/12/t...

Trump's War: Exposing the Lie of Oil and Gas "Energy Independence"

Since Trump’s war with Iran started, we’ve seen a sharp increase in energy prices. Real energy independence will only come when we adopt renewables.

Excellent reporting, and great that legislative leaders are standing up to @governor.ny.gov attempted attack on New York's climate law. Stand strong, New Yorkers are behind you! nysfocus.com/2026/03/10/c...

New York Lawmakers Want to Stay the Course on Climate

The Senate and Assembly are resisting Hochul’s push to relax New York’s emissions targets and are instead pressing for renewed clean energy funding.

As Japan marks 15 years since the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a vast coalition of groups is calling on @governor.ny.gov not to build 5 gigawatts of new nuclear power in New York State. We have proven options for renewable energy - we need our electeds to support them!

More than 100 organizations have signed a letter in support of a three-year moratorium on data centers in New York to protect our communities, environment, and health. The legislature must pass a data center moratorium this year! www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Climate versus affordability

Democrats who support New York’s 2019 climate law are up in arms over the renewed posturing from Gov. Kathy Hochul on the costs of the law.

Trump thinks the affordability crisis is a hoax - but he is choosing to make American's lives more expensive by catering to Big Ag, Big Oil, and a pro-corporate agenda www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/02/10/t...

Trump officials are minimizing and lying about the cost of living crisis, while the administration’s policies are making the crisis worse.

Despite the cold, New Yorkers showed up in Peekskill to demand the State Senate put Bucks for Boilers in the Senate One House budget to fund our climate law and lower our energy bills. Bucks for Boilers will save households 100s of dollars and reduce our homes' carbon emissions! #climatecrisis

The pipeline project was rejected by the state two prior times over water quality threats

earthjustice.org

200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

Yes to the NESE underwater pipeline. No to the Constitution pipeline. "'Hochul has shown New Yorkers she’d prefer to do Trump’s dirty work rather than protect our waterways from pollution,' said Laura Shindell, New York state director at Food & Water Watch."
