Breathing Easy – New York’s Clean Deliveries Act

From Brooklyn to Babylon, 1 out of 4 New Yorkers resides within a half-mile of a large e-commerce warehouse. Along with fulfilling orders, these facilities bring a host of health and environmental hazards like asthma and heart disease. Historical practices of discrimination and racism placed warehouses near communities of color and low-income families, forcing them to face the brunt of these impacts. It’s time for a change.

The Clean Deliveries Act is a common sense bill that requires these facilities to track and reduce their pollution, thereby protecting the air of the neighborhoods where they reside.

During this Teach-In, we heard from:
Emmitt Mendoza-Gaspar, Chief of Staff for AM Marcela Mitaynes
Sam Becker of the Environmental Defense Fund
Jaqi Cohen of the Tristate Transporation Campaign
Antonio Rosario of the Teamsters

We then heard from the ElectrifyNY coalition about how you can take action to make this crucial bill a reality this session.
