New Yorkers, Rochester rallies for ‘Climate, Jobs & Justice’
By Hailie Higgins, Rochester First
Rallies were held across New York State today — including Rochester — to celebrate the launch of the New York Renews coalition’s Climate, Jobs & Justice Package.
The package demands the state to fully fund and implement New York’s Climate Act. This includes building renewable energy for all by creating strong, green union jobs, as well as and making polluters and the “ultra-rich” pay what they owe to fund the transition.
Climate change activists and organizations gathered in Rochester Wednesday at Washington Square Park.
