Activists rallied together at Thompson Park to draw connections between local and state policy, in regard to Ithaca's Green New Deal.
Climate Justice Cornell member Siobhan Hull helped organize the rally. Hull wanted to bring people together to celebrate the launch of the New York Renews Climate, Jobs, and Justice Package.
“That is a bill package that is being housed within New York Renew...and it's a package of eight bills that is attempting to fund and implement the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which was passed in 2019,” she said. “It's New York State's climate law.”
