Last week we generated 163 calls about the PSC gas proceeding. Great work! (Feel free to forward)

This week we will be focusing our efforts again on calling on Governor Cuomo to stop the proposed Danskammer fracked gas power plant in Newburgh, NY. This plant if approved, would lock the region into 20-30 years more of fossil fuel dependency and put our climate and regional health at risk!
It has been a few months since our last Danskammer focused Call Cuomo Monday & a lot has happened. Most significantly, because of the tremendous effort of activists, the application has again been delayed! The Public Service Commission wants particular clarity from Danskammer on how this proposal will comply with the efficiency standards set by the CLCPA. So far, this bodes well for our campaign, but the fight is not over yet. Ultimately this decision could set a huge precedent for future fracked gas infrastructure fights in the future. That is why we are so fortunate to be part of this statewide network of fracktivists, all of our fights are so interconnected!
Much of our current momentum can be credited to the immense organizing pressure and input the state has received from the thousands of individual community members who have spoken out.
Thanks for sharing this week's Call Cuomo Monday with your networks & lending your voice to our local fight here in the Hudson Valley! If you'd like to learn more about this particular campaign, visit stoptheplant.org where you will find beautiful graphics and educational materials.
