Treeage Rally for Climate, NY For All, Tax the Rich, Part 1

New York’s largest student-led climate action, TREEage, held its 5th annual Youth Day of Action on March 17th at the Capitol, in partnership with NY Renews, Invest in Our New York, Make the Road NY, and others. An estimated 1000 attended to tell Governor Hochul to maintain hard-fought mandates under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, and address additional, timely, pressing issues like tax inequality and passing New York for All to protect immigrants. At a rally on the Million Dollar Staircase, we hear from Assembly Members Jessica González-Rojas, Anna Kelles, Sarahana Shestha, Diana Moreno, Senator Kristen Gonzales, and Assemblymember Claire Valdez.
