CNY Solidarity & IOC Next Meeting Sunday, August 2 at 3:00pm – 5:00pm Join us for a presentation about data center in NYS by Jennifer Stromer-Galley, a Professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. Data centers are essential to the growth of the burgeoning AI industry. But data centers come with controversy. This talk will give an overview of data centers—what role they play in the AI industry, current and proposed data center initiatives in New York, and the current state of public policy in CNY.
The second hour of our meeting we will break out into our working groups to plan protests, contact our representatives, and plan actions.

A zoom link will be provided if you would like to watch on zoom. All are welcome.

Tell Your Senator: Vote NO on Todd Blanche as Attorney General Todd Blanche is the face of some of the worst abuses from Trump 2.0’s Department of Justice: trying to rip off taxpayers for a $1.8 billion Jan. 6 slush fund and greenlighting Trump tax fraud, targeting political opponents, and denying accountability for ICE abuses and the Epstein crimes. He’s an unqualified loyalist – and the Senate should reject him for Attorney General. Any senator who votes to confirm Blanche is co-signing his and Trump’s war on our rights and the rule of law – and rubber-stamping future abuses. Contact your Senator TODAY

Tell the SEC: Don’t Roll Back Corporate Climate Disclosure The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is moving to rescind an important rule that requires public companies to disclose climate-related financial risk. The rule that the SEC is trying to rescind requires companies to disclose the amount of heat-trapping emissions their businesses produce, how climate impacts and the clean energy transition might affect their businesses, and their plans for meeting global warming emissions reduction targets. This rule is important for protecting US financial systems and people’s investments, while also sending a clear market signal of the importance of businesses orienting toward a clean, climate-resilient future. The Trump administration’s head-in-the-sand approach to climate change and repeated caving to corporate interests is harming everyday people and our economy. Join us in opposing their assault on transparency and science-based public policy. Submit a comment to the SEC today in support of robust corporate climate disclosure requirements. Comments are due by Monday, August 3.

Join Neighbors For A Better Micron Neighbors For A Better Micron is an association of residents who are Micron’s close neighbors. They filed a lawsuit in January 2026 because, in the words of its president, “our local and state governments have yet to address a core question: Has the company done enough to guarantee us that the economic benefits of its “mega-fab” will outweigh a range of potential negative impacts? Becoming a member of this group means supporting their association’s general mission of encouraging Micron to be a good neighbor. It does not mean you’re part of any legal actions they take, and regardless of whether you choose to join as a member, you will not be personally liable for the lawsuit. There are many other ways to help accomplish our mission unrelated to the lawsuit, such as helping organize events, attending meetings, or conducting educational outreach.

Tell the Public Service Commission: No New Nuclear in New York On June 11, Governor Hochul’s Public Service Commission kicked off a process to commit massive amounts of public money toward the construction of nuclear reactors in unspecified communities across upstate New York. State agencies have put forth an “options paper,” not asking whether New York should carry out this plan to build new nuclear reactors, but how they should go about it. Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy, and the public should not bear the costs of building new nuclear reactors when our existing nuclear fleet can’t even afford to operate without massive bailout subsidies from ratepayers. Submit a comment in Governor Hochul’s nuclear planning proceeding to say “no new nuclear in New York.” Comments are due August 10.

Onondaga Lake Watch – Public Meeting Event Tuesday, July 28, 06:30 PM – 07:30 PM Liverpool Public Library-310 Tulip Street, Liverpool
Join Onondaga Lake Watch for a community meeting exploring an important environmental health question: Could airborne dimethylmercury be affecting our community? Mercury contamination in and around Onondaga Lake has been documented for decades, but questions remain about whether organic forms of mercury could become airborne under certain environmental conditions. This meeting will present the scientific basis for an independent investigation focused on evaluating that possibility. Our goal is to provide factual, science-based information, answer community questions, and discuss how an independent investigation could help determine whether additional environmental monitoring is warranted. Whether you’re a resident, scientist, health professional, student, or simply interested in the future of the Onondaga Lake community, you’re welcome to attend. Admission is free. Donations to support the independent investigation
