Earth Day 2020

Happy Earth Day!

Dear Friends,

We find ourselves in challenging times, with our community and our country facing unimaginable stresses related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

If there is any good to come out of this pandemic, it may be that our country will start making powerful strides in combating the climate crisis. Because if the coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything, it is that the warnings of scientists are disregarded at our own peril.

As we each find a way to honor the 50th anniversary of Earth Day this weekend, we at Win With Wind would like to share a Public Service Announcement as part of our way of honoring Earth Day.

As for progress toward realizing the South Fork Wind Farm, a rigorous review process is advancing in accord with the NYS Public Service Commission’s requirements. Win With Wind is an active participant in this process as Intervenors in the Article VII process. We will continue our work advocating for offshore wind and a renewable energy future for our communities and our world.

We are also excited to announce the launch of a new Island-wide coalition of environmental, community, and labor groups to support offshore wind, TODAY! Please visit the new Wind Works Long Island website at windworkslongisland.org. Win With Wind is a charter partner.

We have good reason to believe that, once the worst of the COVID crisis is over, the opponents of offshore wind will renew their costly campaign to defeat the South Fork Wind Farm. If you share our hope for a clean energy future for our community, please help us prepare for this challenge with your donation today: https://winwithwind.org/donate

Thank you,
Judith Hope
