Climate change is a global emergency and in NYC we are doing everything in our power to combat it. We’re suing the big fossil fuel companies because they are complicit in the deadly consequences of climate disasters. pic.twitter.com/TGNYcfMrql

We’re divesting billions of dollars from fossil fuel companies and investing billions in clean energy solutions. We are saying “No” to new fossil fuel infrastructure like the Williams Pipeline.

And we are implementing our own #NYCGreenNewDeal right here in NYC—it’s the equivalent of taking 1.3M 🚘 off the road & will create 25k good jobs. We are taking action because climate change is an existential threat that must be met head on.

That’s also why I have signed the “No Fossil Fuel money pledge” in my campaign for President. I will not take one red cent from fossil fuel PACs and CEOs.

This is not the time for half-measures. There is no "middle ground." Thank you @350, @sunrisemvmt, @greenpeaceusa, @public_citizen, @foe_us & others for making us all feel the urgency of this moment.
