Dear Nada,On Nov. 14, Con Edison, the City of Mt. Vernon, and NY League of Conservation Voters will give an introductory presentation at the Doles Recreation Center at 6:30 pm for a utility thermal network proposal. Please see the attached flyer in jpg and pdf. A Utility Thermal Network is the most efficient and cost-effective way of heating and cooling buildings. With the help of Con Edison and the City of Mt. Vernon, some residents of the city may have an opportunity to enroll in a pilot project that will upgrade the participating residents' heating, cooling, and hot water systems to a thermal network at no cost to them. These residents would enjoy lower utility bills and safer, more comfortable, and pollution-free heating and cooling. Scaling up such networks will eventually pay a huge role in cutting greenhouse has and co-pollutant emissions from New York's building sector, which is currently the largest source of such emissions in the state.Thank you!Anshul--Anshul Gupta (he/him)Policy & Research Director, New Yorkers for Clean Power[email protected]201-357-0794 ...

A win in the courts! For the first time, a federal court has confirmed what Palestine Legal & partners have long asserted: applying the distorted IHRA definition of antisemitism to student speech at public unis is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination: https://www.cair.com/press_releases/breaking-cair-obtains-federal-court-ruling-against-texas-unconstitutional-crackdown-on-student-criticism-of-israel/
