December 17, 2024, New York, New York, USA: A protester holds up a sign that reads ‘OFF FOSSIL FUELS FOOD & WATER WATCH.’ Climate advocates rally outside Governor Hochul’s New York City office to demand that she sign the Climate Change Superfund Act. The legislation requires Big Oil companies to partially cover the cost of NYS climate-related damages, relieving the burden on taxpayers. Demonstrators cite approximately .5 billion in clean-up costs for the past year’s record number of extreme weather events, fueled by fossil fuel expansion and climate change. Rally sponsors include Food & Water Watch, NYPIRG, 350 Brooklyn, Extreme Weather Survivors, Climate Families NYC, Fridays For Future NYC, New York Communities for Change Surfrider Foundation NYC and Third Act NYC.
