Across NY 1 in 4 New Yorkers lives within half a mile of an e-commerce mega-warehouse. On Long Island alone ~565 warehouses generate an estimated 32,000 diesel truck trips every day, according to @EnvDefenseFund.

The smoke has cleared, but many NYers still breathe unhealthy air every day.
A new @CityLimitsNews op-ed makes the case for the #CleanDeliveriesAct, which would help reduce pollution coming from mega-warehouses and create healthier communities.

No review. No oversight. No accountability. That’s the reality for South Bronx families living in the shadow of NY’s biggest warehouses. The Senate has passed the Clean Deliveries Act 3x — now the Assembly must act. electrifyny.org/warehouses/ spons

In the South Bronx, families live next to some of the largest, most polluting warehouses in New York. Hundreds of diesel trucks. Thousands of trips. Every single day. Time to pass the Clean Deliveries Act. electrifyny.org/warehouses/
Join us for a briefing about the impacts of truck pollution from the e-commerce industry and how the Clean Deliveries Act — a groundbreaking bill that secures clean air for communities impacted by truck pollution from the e-commerce industry — can help.

Dirty trucks are still choking frontline communities.
We’re urging @GovKathyHochul to stand strong, ten toes down, on zero-emission trucks this year. Clean air is a promise New Yorkers can’t afford to lose. 💨

#CleanDeliveries
Neighborhoods like Hunts Point, near ports and distribution hubs, have some of the highest asthma rates in the nation. Our new billboard campaign is raising the alarm: warehouse growth cannot come at the cost of the air people breathe!

🚶🏽♀️🏢 This week, we walked Red Hook streets packed with mega warehouses and vehicular traffic, where ~10k NYCHA residents live amid diesel fumes.
Warehouses need to be better neighbors and protect public health around their facilities. NY must pass the #CleanDeliveriesAct! ⚡️

As e-commerce warehouses proliferate, we're giving regulators the tools they need to keep communities safe. Just as we enacted the nation leading CLCPA, my Clean Deliveries Act with @marcelaforny will keep major polluters like Amazon in check
ALT Senator Gianaris wears a light blue button down shirt and speaks at a podium with the seal of the New York State Senate. Behind him, advocates hold signs calling for cleaner air and accountability for polluters like Amazon, whose warehouse is visible in the background
ALT Advocates for clean air hold signs reading "Red Hook Demands Clean Air Now!", "Don't Be A Fossil Fool!", "Air Quality Sucks, We Need Cleaner Trucks", "Clean Up Amazon", and "Red Hook Initiative"
ALT Advocates at the rally hold signs reading "Cleaner, Greener, Fleets for New York Streets!" and "Cleaner Air, Safer Streets, Clean Deliveries!"
ALT A green poster held aloft reads "Deliver: -Emissions (crossed out) - Clean Air - Safe Streets"
🚛 Wed, Oct 1 @ 11 A.M. in Red Hook, we’re relaunching the #CleanDeliveriesAct!
Across New York, families are living with higher asthma rates and dirty air from warehouse truck traffic. With federal climate protections being rolled back, this is the moment for New York to act ✊
📣 NYS has released its draft Transportation Master Plan for 2050! Submit your comments today! Tell the NYS DOT that we need safe, accessible, and reliable transportation, and that we must prioritize disadvantaged communities in electrification efforts.

Although major corporations attract customers with summer deals, for the 1 in 4 New Yorkers within a half-mile of an e-commerce warehouse, the additional daily truck trips & pollution are hardly something to celebrate. #CleanDeliveries

Without federal support, the fight for clean air moves to the states. States across the US are funding clean transportation on their own. @GovKathyHochul, will you keep NY in this fight for our health?

🚛💨The NY Senate just passed the #CleanDeliveriesAct again—now it’s the Assembly’s turn.
This public health + clean air bill tackles toxic truck pollution from mega-warehouses & protects communities hit hardest by emissions.
Let’s get it done! Act Now: tinyurl.com/SupportCDA
