Wake Up NY

Wake Up NY Enivironmental issues, social justice issues, & more will be posted.

I've rebranded GMO Free NY into Wake Up NY because I believe it's important to share info on & to advocate on a multitude of issues negatively impacting New Yorkers/all people.

IMPORTANT message for my fellow New Yorkers:

After advocates fought for 10 long years, the NY Legislature passed a bill earlier this year giving people who are terminally ill the right to end their lives with dignity - the Medical Aid in Dying Act - a right people already have in 11 other states, Washington, DC, and several other countries. But now we need Governor Hochul to sign the bill Into law!

There’s a sign-on letter we’re circulating for individuals, organizations, officials, etc. The letter gives more detail about the issue so I won’t add to the length of this post. It would also be particularly helpful to have people who have a public presence - who are also New Yorkers - to sign the letter. So if you support this measure, please sign it using the link below and also share this post/the link with other New Yorkers. Thank you!

Please complete this form to sign an open letter urging Governor Hochul to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act (A136/S138) into law. Access an updated version of the letter HERE. The linked version of the letter will be updated regularly with the names of supporters who have completed this form.

Please read this petition to Governor Kathy Hochul if you’re a New Yorker who cares about the climate crisis and the near-weekly disasters it’s causing throughout the state. Then sign on. Thanks!

Please take a look at this petition and consider adding your name to it if you think Big Oil companies should help us pay for the damages caused by climate change and all the resiliency projects we need to protect ourselves in the future!

Why are New Yorkers footing 100% of the bill for climate change damages and resiliency projects? The Big Oil companies who are most responsible for climate change should help pay! Click the link below to help New York take action against Big Oil.

If you think that Big Oil -- and not taxpayers -- should help NYS pay for all the resiliency projects needed and the public health costs incurred because of the climate change they are in large part responsible for, please send this message to Governor Kathy Hochul:

Send a holiday message to Governor Hochul and urge her to protect New York State taxpayers from climate catastrophe costs by including the Climate Change Superfund Act (S.2129A/A.3351A) in her 2024 Executive Budget! New York must address climate crisis costs by putting fiscal fairness and environmen...
