Dear friends,

 
Please help us get 10k New Yorkers to sign a letter to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to bring the Packaging Reduction Act to a vote. There are two ways to sign:
1. Sign via Action Network: bit.ly/heastie-prria-letter
2. If you aren’t able to drive people to our Action Network, they can sign via google forms (we will not share anyone’s information or add them to our email list): bit.ly/heastie-prria2026 
 
As well, reminder that we have an upcoming advocacy day on May 11:

Join Beyond Plastics and others on Monday, May 11, 2026 in Albany to put people over plastic and demand action from our state legislators!

Location: Empire State Plaza – Concourse, Conference Rooms 2, 3, and 4
Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

On May 11, we’re gathering at the New York State Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA) — a critical bill that will cut toxic plastic packaging at the source, reduce climate pollution, save taxpayers money, and strengthen recycling and reuse systems across New York.
