Green Amendments For The Generations

Thank you for this opportunity to share the power of constitutional environmental rights! All New Yorkers will have an opportunity to vote for a #GreenAmendment in November!

Yesterday the Maine Senate gave support to the #PineTreeAmendment to ensure the right to a healthy environment. Thank you Senator Chloe Maxmin for your leadership! Here in Maine, our economy and our way of life are tied to our environment from our pristine forests to our working waterfronts. But the right to a healthy environment isn’t something we’re guaranteed. The Pine Tree Amendment would fix that, said Senator Maxmin. http://www.mainesenate.org/senate-gives-support-to-sen-max/

Today’s the day! If you’re in the Dobbs Ferry NY area, shop at MOM's Organic Market today and 5% of proceeds will directly support our mission to protect your rights to a clean and healthy environment! We all deserve to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and New Yorkers will have the opportunity to vote for a #GreenAmendment this November - thank you MOM’s for supporting our work.

If you treat access to clean air and clean water as a human right, you can make it much more difficult for others to take advantage of marginalized groups. #GreenAmendment4EJ https://www.eenews.net/stories/1063723867

Richard Eeds, along with Maya van Rossum, does a great job bringing us all up to speed on the New Mexico #GreenAmendment and where things stand. Take a listen https://santafe.com/po/richard-eeds-show-january-28-2021-3/

There has to be a balance point: people over money, said Daniel Tso, a member of the Navajo Nation.I welcome an end to federal fossil fuel leasing and the necessary transitions to more sustainable economies for the Navajo Nation. https://www.theguardian.com//joe-biden-climate-change-exec

Big top down approaches to fighting climate and saving the environment are great, but many times the connection and empowerment of individual citizens and communities are forgotten under those policies. To be able to take on many of the battles that ordinary Americans see in their backyards, you need legal standing. A #GreenAmendment offers that standing to average citizens, so they can bring government actors within arm's reach and get justice for their communities. A self-executing Green Amendment is a palatable, direct way for locals to get the change they need. https://newrepublic.com//environmental-justice-movement-th
