Public Power
The Public Power NY Coalition is a statewide movement of community and advocacy organizations fighting for an environmentally sustainable energy system that’s also racially, socially, and economically just. We believe energy and a habitable planet are human rights.
We are building a popular campaign to fight for a focused on a campaign to take public ownership and control over all aspects of our energy system and back from for-profit monopolies. Our coalition has developed two pieces of legislation to win public power for New York State, the New York Build Public Renewables Act and the New York Utility Democracy Act.
I was actively involved in leading the statewide overall strategy and labor relations strategy as a member of the Capital District chapter of DSA, a member organization of the Public Power NY Coalition. In this work, I trained a team of organizers, planned statewide rallies, and supported member organization engagement in the statewide coalition.
