Come on, New Yorkers, let's get this one done!

This spring OpenAir members in New York City are advocating for exciting, first-of-kind state carbon removal support legislation. As law The New York Carbon City Property Tax Abatement Act (S.5450 / A777) will give a big boost to building-integrated carbon removal technologies, fit for urban deployment, in the form of a property tax credit for buildings that adopt them.

But we only have until the beginning of June to get this bill over the finish line. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

Here are 3 high impact actions that New Yorkers can take right now:

Time: 5 mins

Post our campaign image declaring your support for S.5450/ A.777 on social media. Tag your Assemblymember and State Senator to make sure they know it. Click on the button above to access a simple tool to help guide you through the steps.

OpenAir’s Mobilizer tool makes it very easy for you to identify your State Senator and Assemblymember, look up their office phone numbers, and deliver quick phone call in support of S.5450/ A.777. With enough calls coming in, our legislation will gain priority. Click on the button to access the tool.

Time: 30 mins

One of the most impactful ways to push S.5450 forward is to join other residents in your district for short zoom meetings with your legislators to explain the bill and why they should support it. OpenAir is organizing citizen lobbying sessions with New York City-based state legislators in April and May. The more folks we have join these calls the more impact we will have. Just click the button above to fill out a very short form to let us know you are interested in taking part, and we will get right back to you.
