What a Year! Thank You!

It’s been a banner year for Clean Air – all because of you! Because of your commitment to public health and environmental justice in our community, we’ve made so much possible, together.

We held 20 phone banks, multiple Common Council hearings, and countless team meetings, and then won $150,000 in the City’s budget for Participatory Budgeting (PB)!

We prepared for when NRG Huntley announced its closure in September 2015 and we now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together to build a new, stronger economy in Tonawanda and make sure no one is left behind (not to mention $19 million from the NYS legislature for communities facing coal plant closures)!

We joined with residents who live near the old American Axle site on East Delavan, who are facing pollution from PCBs and other toxic contaminants

We’re recognized as movement leaders on the national level: our work was featured on Al Jazeera’s award-winning news program, The Stream, and our organizer, Natasha Soto, was invited to the White House to help guide the expansion of PB in the United States

We need your continued support for this essential work!

Our work doesn’t just look good on paper – it’s creating meaningful and long-lasting change. We couldn’t have made any of this happen without you!

With your gift today, we can envision a bright future for the Huntley Coal site; expand Participatory Budgeting city wide; and keep up our fight for environmental justice in neighborhoods across Western New York.

Your generous support today ensures our continued success as we work for a healthier and more just future for all of us!
