200 Rally At Capitol For Climate Superfund Act (Part 2)

On December 10 to 12, climate activists held a 3 day occupation of the state capitol to call upon Governor Hochul to sign the climate superfund act into law to make polluters pay. A few days before the rally, Governor Hochul began negotiations with the state legislature on changes she wants. The Climate Superfund Act would raise $75 billion over 25 years from the largest greenhouse gas emitters over the last several decades. In part 2 of our coverage of the Dec. 10 rally, we hear from Helen Mancini and Keanu Arpels-Josiah of Fridays for Future NYC; Fred Kowall of United University Professions; Rev. John Paarlberg; Dr. Sandra Steingraber; and Kaitlyn Quach of Food and Water Watch.
