"We must take action that will help us tackle climate change now and not later, so that our country and state will have clean air and water for future generations."

"We desperately need the federal government to step in and help residents, families, and local governments mitigate the problem before more disasters occur."

"If we do not, sea level rise is expected to impact 9,000 acres of riverfront lands this century in the Hudson Valley alone."

"We are in the middle of a major climate crisis."
