Join Power Hour to keep the pressure on extreme heat legislation in New York
Join Power Hour to help pass 3 life saving pieces of legislation: Tenant's Right to Cooling, Codify Cooling Centers, and Cool Pavement Pilot.
Extreme heat is the deadliest impact of climate change. 50 percent of the heat-related deaths are among Black/African American people and we can look to policies like redlining that have resulted in these outcomes. There can be as much as a 31 degree disparity in heat indexes across the city.
