Dear Kate,
I hope this finds you and your loved ones well and ready for summer!
We at EOPA are busy preparing for our electric vehicle (EV) tour that will make stops in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Georgia. If you are interested in taking part at the end
of May and during June, please contact naweed@protectingamerica.net <mailto:naweed@protectingamerica.net> . Press conferences will take place in each state, and lawmakers will have
the opportunity to drive EVs, experience, and learn more about the incentives provided in the Inflation Reduction Act and how they work in tandem with state EV incentives.

National progress — For too long, communities of color have borne the brunt of environmental degradation, suffering the consequences of pollution because redlining opened the doors to
highways that were built too close, and fossil fuel and other toxic industries became neighbors. Late in March, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the strongest-ever pollution

Hawai’i — We worked with the legislature to support the successful passage in the house and senate of a climate crisis mental health resilience bill. The legislation creates a first

New York — In addition to our offshore wind project, EOPA continues work on the Climate Change Superfund Act, which requires the Big Oil companies most responsible for greenhouse gas
emissions from the years 2000-2018 to pay a total of $75 billion — $3 billion annually over 25 years — to help the state pay for their pollution costs. Seven elected officials engaged
directly with Governor Hochul, including NYC Comptroller Brad Lander about our efforts to back our letter, which has 100 elected officials supporting the Superfund Act. The measure
passed the State Senate, but the governor did not include it in the budget.
We had a syndicated radio show <https://click.everyaction.com/k/85006442/473355300/1728942941?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNy8xLzg3ODYyIiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlk

EOPA New York Leadership Council Member, said roads, bridges, and culverts are becoming annual priorities. Cate Rogers, Town of East Hampton Deputy Supervisor EOPA Leadership Council
Member, said the climate crisis is taking a toll on local industry, especially with this winter’s storms. Long Island faced $276 million in climate change-related costs.
We are also engaged in New York on building electrification and are planning webinars – stay tuned!
I recently had the honor of briefing members of the British Parliament on the Ukraine Energy Security Marshall Plan in partnership with UK for Ukraine. As a result, a resolution that
highlights the importance of clean energy security will be introduced ahead of the Ukraine Recovery Conference this summer. We also held a roundtable discussion in parliament and I
spoke at Oxford University on energy security.
As always, we are grateful for your hard work and dedication to our shared goals. Thank you all or your leadership. Everything we do is because of you. Please reach out to me with news,
policy questions or projects you’d think we should be involved in.

To create a safe, prosperous, and healthy planet, we empower leadership from elected officials and civic leaders to protect our environment and fight the climate crisis. As current and
former elected officials who care deeply about protecting our planet and people from the dangers of climate change, EOPA educates through value-based storytelling, trains lawmakers,
and connects elected officials to inspire strong environmental policy. Lawmakers who are veterans and elected officials representing frontline communities lead our mission.
