The cutting down of the trees has begun. We are no longer asking for help. We are now demanding a stop to this insanity! In this age of climate change and sea level rise, torrential rain storms and storm surges, and with the city talking about resilience for shore line communities, why are they destroying the only resilience this black, brown (60% to 70%), elderly, disabled and low income community has? When Granitevillle loses its forested wetland, we will not only be at high risk of flooding and asthma, COPD and other illnesses from toxic air and water pollution but this loss will also create a heat
island effect, which means higher temperatures in this community than before the forest was cut down. I just now received an alert on my cell phone to reduce energy use or we will have energy disruptions. This is the new normal. This is also madness!CWF will demonstrate in front of Governor Cuomo's office in Manhattan. Join us! Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday, July 7, 2021
Time: Gather at 4:30 pm. Demonstration begins at 5pm
Location: 633 3rd Ave, Manhattan, between 40th St and 41st St

You need to go after support from the Hipster Green groups - bikes, waterfront East River Gowanus - make public that you are seeking their support.
and threaten to make public when they throw you under the bus.

Leftist: Unlimited immigration is a good thing.
Also leftist: Don't use resources our system can't handle it.
But, but I thought only republicans hated the environment and democrats were its saviors.
Wonder why the “experts” or “climate change” activists are not talking about the Grand Solar Minimum.
Cuomo is just like Holden. A republican running as a Democrat.
How Dare You !
Comments here are useless.
That one person was right - you want to win, drag in all those white upper-class bike and waterfront kids into the battle - and condemn them as frauds if they ignore you.
The car people will love you and can use that as a launching pad against this anti-car madness.
@Anon re: UCB and waterfront kids
They would rather fight for a bike lane on the Verrazzano.
The sooner the Verrazano is demolished the better. Let the whole island become a wetland.
How much will Cuomo personally pocket into his checking account when this deal goes through?
How much will the real estate developers Cuomo is in bed with will make from this deal?
Everything Cuomo touches dies or is later ruined.
When will people wake up and force him out of office?
