5h agoA group of
parents and kids are urging Sen. Chuck Schumer to refute the proposed cuts to
climate provisions in the "Build Back Better” bill.
The group set up
an art installation just steps from the senator’s home that addresses the future humans are leaving for his grandson.
“We actually have
a message for him about his grandson Noah. He loves to talk about him all the
time,” says Liat Olenic, of the group Sunrise Kids. “The reality is if he wants
Noah to have a livable future and really a future at all, he needs to fight harder.”
Some participants
are pushing for 40% of funding to be directed to frontline communities and an
end to fossil fuel subsidies.
Many who took
part in the art installation were young children from the neighborhood.
News 12 reached
out to Schumer’s office for comment.
