Protesters gathered in Queens on March 6, led by New York Communities for Change, to urge state legislators to include the Bucks for Boilers Act in the state budget. This initiative aims to reduce utility costs and emissions by helping low- and moderate-income households replace old fossil-fuel boilers with energy-efficient systems. With rising utility costs and living expenses, advocates highlighted the impact of these financial burdens on vulnerable communities, reinforcing the need for immediate legislative support and action against climate change.
Our bills are way too high, and people simply can't choose between paying their rent, their utility bills, or putting food on the table.
The Bucks for Boilers Act is a proposed state initiative to reduce energy costs for New Yorkers while advancing climate goals.
