Support NYPIRG’s Mission
Here are two ways that you can help us counter federal attacks on our nation’s bedrock environmental and consumer protections:
1. Take Action
Contact your congressional representatives, including New York’s U.S. Senators, and urge them to:
- Defend the National Environmental Policy Act, a crucial environmental law that gives the public a voice when it comes to proposed projects like the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline, which was rejected in 2019 and 2020 because it failed to meet New York’s water quality standards.
- Support site-neutral payment reform, which would ensure that routine healthcare services and procedures cost Medicare and its beneficiaries the same amount, whether they are performed at a hospital-owned facility or an independent clinic. This common-sense fix will stop hospital systems from using their off-campus facilities to overcharge Medicare and its beneficiaries, and lead to better access and more affordable care.
*Use NYPIRG’s Representative Finder to find your federal representatives and get their contact information.
Sample message:
Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a resident of [YOUR MUNICIPALITY], NY. I urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to stand up for our nation’s bedrock environmental and healthcare protections. “Permitting reform” is being used as an excuse to fast-track fossil fuel pipelines. Please protect my right to clean air and water by defending the National Environmental Policy Act from these federal attacks. Also, please fight for site-neutral payment reform, which would help make healthcare more affordable for Medicare beneficiaries and save taxpayers money, as part of any congressional agreement. Thank you.
