A heartbreak
Rest in peace Cecile Richards
We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work.

Trump may want to “drill, baby, drill" but the actual feasibility of expanding fossil fuel production is a little more complicated than that.

Gov. Hochul this morning at Crain’s New York event on the benefits of congestion pricing for riders and New Yorkers
Must we make Republicans the protagonist of every news story? How about the millions of transit riders who stand to benefit? Or the millions of New Yorkers who should see fewer cars clogging the streets?
#CongestionPricing is finally on track to be implemented in NYC!
This wouldn't be possible without the efforts of so many parters. Thanks to @transalt.org, @tstc.bsky.social, @nylcv.bsky.social, @bikenewyork.bsky.social, @reinventalbany.bsky.social for your collaboration!
