"TOP’s success reflects what’s possible when people of color organize around what matters most to them and advocate for a seat at the table."

The policy platform outlines actions that address environmental justice, just recovery from disasters, equity accounting in climate policy, and energy democracy.

While Demos celebrates the legislation’s strong mandate on emissions reductions, the governor’s exclusion of community investment mandates and labor standards prolongs the fight for climate justice in New York and nationwide.

Demos strongly supports the Climate and Community Protection Act (CCPA) that will protect and strengthen climate-impacted Latinx communities by reducing climate pollution and targeting clean energy investment based on principles of equity and racial justice.

Not only will this Act help avoid the worst impacts of climate change, it will create hundreds of thousands of good jobs.
