And the CLIMATE SUPERFUND BILL PASSED out of the Senate Environment Committee! This is the beginning of something big for NJ in our fight against the climate crisis!

Senator Smith just read through a huge stack of slips from the public, the vast majority in support of the bill from a diverse variety of organizations and individuals across NJ. 😮
Tracey of the Montclair Interfaith Climate Justice Alliance just gave powerful testimony in support of the bill. Her group recently delivered over 400 postcards to Senator McKeon in support of the Climate Superfund Act and bold, brave climate legislation.
We're at the Statehouse with our allies today to win a Climate Superfund Act for NJ!

Gen-Z is taking an active role in transforming the world they're inheriting.
And they're calling on lawmakers to tax the ultra-wealthy and well-connected to help fund climate solutions so all New Jerseyans can look to a brighter — and greener — future.

We’re outside the statehouse in Trenton to kickoff our legislative campaign for bold climate action and a squeaky clean energy future!

We are in Trenton today to say NO to false climate solutions like carbon capture and so-called “renewable” natural gas and to call on our legislature to pass bold climate laws for a clean energy future. Hurricane Helene is a tragic reminder that there is no time to waste!
Join us in Trenton on September 30th (two weeks from today!) for our next big opportunity to move New Jersey legislators to pass clean energy legislation & reject false solutions!
RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/ral…
We've seen a ton of new climate & energy bills introduced this year – both good and bad – and it looks like the NJ legislature is planning to act on some of them this Fall. We're gearing up to stop false solutions & fight for effective climate & energy solutions!
Join us on Thursday, September 12 @ 7PM for a critical discussion on the major climate & energy policies currently being considered by our legislators, and how we are organizing this fall to win a just transition off fossil fuels.

Then you can turn those plans into action on Thursday, September 19 @ 9AM as we rally at the State House in Trenton for a squeaky clean energy future!

Fossil fuel projects we’ve been fighting for years could have been halted if Governor Murphy uses his authority to stop all new fossil fuel expansion projects.
Call him today!!
In a historic decision, the DC Circuit Court agreed with us that the enormous increase in dirty gas supply from the Williams Transco REAE pipeline expansion through NJ is simply not needed, failed to adequately assess climate impacts and undermines New Jersey’s climate policies.
Last week, @GovMurphy's administration approved the inadequate, unjust, and deceptive environmental justice review for the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC) gas plant proposed in Newark at the agency’s massive wastewater treatment facility! We need you to take action!
RSVP to stand up against this decision and join the PVSC board meeting on Thursday, July 25 at 12 p.m. on Zoom. The board could give the fracked gas power plant a rubber stamp of approval and we need to join the meeting to tell them to VOTE NO. RSVP here: bit.ly/3WvMhEF

On Thurs the Murphy administration made the appalling decision to issue a critical permit for a NEW GAS PLANT in Newark’s Ironbound. This would be the 4th gas plant in a city suffering from some of the worst air pollution in the country from decades of environmental injustice!
The Murphy admin's exclusion of leading members of NJ's largest climate coalition from the Energy Master Plan stakeholder meetings is unacceptable. Check out our message for @GovMurphy on what real climate commitment look like. 🌎🔥

If you're not at the table, you're on the menu! We represent more than 140 organizations representing hundreds of thousands of members who live, work, and recreate in the Garden State.
If the Murphy admin isn't talking with us, who are they talking to?
We will continue our public advocacy for a REAL Energy Master Plan that upholds New Jersey's commitments to #CleanEnergy and our climate future.
