NY AG Letitia James, We Need You To Champion Our Environmental Rights

Since passage of the New York Green Amendment in 2021, key government leaders are failing us. Among them is the New York Attorney General. Rather than uplift, defend and embrace our New York Green Amendment, the NY State Attorney General has gone to court with legal arguments that seek to undermine and narrow it. The result is some very troubling court outcomes.

It is time that New Yorkers join our voices and demand - that the NY Attorney General embrace our NY Green Amendment and recognize it as creating an enforceable constitutional right that all NY state government officials must follow and that New Yorkers can enforce.

Please sign on to the letter directed to New York State Attorney General now. https://nygreenamendment.org/act-now/new-yorks-green-amendment-needs-your-voice/

And urge your friends, family and fellow NY community members to sign it too. We need an outpouring if the Attorney General is going to hear us.

Seneca Lake Guardian

Protect the Finger Lakes for Future Generations

Public Education | Citizen Participation | Engagement with Decision Makers | Networking with Like-Minded Organizations

Join us in understanding the urgent threats facing the Finger Lakes and take action to protect our land and waters. Industrial projects, pollution, and harmful development put our region’s health, economy, and way of life at risk. At Seneca Lake Guardian, a Waterkeeper Alliance Affiliate, we believe that protecting our lakes is a shared responsibility—one that requires awareness, advocacy, and community partnership. We are the only organization dedicated to actively working to protect the Finger Lakes from dirty industrial projects that could threaten the health of our lakes, our rural community character, the Finger Lakes Brand, or the livelihoods of the small business owners who depend on the lakes for their success. Together, we can defend the Finger Lakes from environmental harm and ensure they remain clean, vibrant, and thriving for generations to come. Be a part of the movement to safeguard our waters—because once they’re gone, there’s no turning back.

 

Yvonne Taylor at Grist50 awardsNational Recognition Seneca Lake Guardian Vice President, Yvonne Taylor, was recently recognized as “one of the most influential climate leaders in the country” by Grist 50 for her work to protect the region and educate communities across the country on issues of solid waste, cryptomining and AI/ Data Centers. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it shines a national spotlight on the work Yvonne and Seneca Lake Guardian are doing, not only in New York State, but across the country. This recognition underscores the transformative impact of your support: together, we are shaping environmental policy, inspiring statewide and national movements, and proving that grassroots action can take on powerful industries and win.

A quote from Yvonne to celebrate this moment: “I’m truly humbled and honored to be recognized among so many incredible leaders. This award belongs just as much to our amazing team, our collaborators, and the community members who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us to create lasting change and inspire me every day. I remain committed to working tirelessly for a healthier, more sustainable future – for my neighbors in the Finger Lakes, for the people of New York, and for communities across the nation.”

We invite you to celebrate this achievement with us and continue standing alongside Yvonne and our team by donating today- so that we can continue to protect what matters most
