Leslie is first joined by Jessica Azulay, Executive Director of Alliance for a Green Economy (AGREE), a New York based organization working toward a 100% renewable energy system.
The two analyze New York Governor Kathy Hochul's push to decarbonize New York's residential buildings through a proposal in her fiscal year 2023 budget.
The provision includes unprecedented investments and regulations in decarbonizing all new residential buildings in the empire state by 2027. These residential buildings are responsible for up to a third of greenhouse gas emissions in New York State.
The website for AGREE is AllianceForAGreenEconomy.org and their Twitter handle is @AgreeNewYork.
Leslie is then joined by Jon Sinton, Executive Director and CEO of 'Let Majority Rule,' a non-partisan organization dedicated to ensuring that America hears the voice of the majority of voters.
Jon details the problems that are preventing the majority from ruling in the United States, which include the electoral college, the Senate filibuster, and congressional gerrymandering. He also outlines steps that Americans can take to help overcome these anti-democratic roadblocks.
In early 2011, Jon co-founded the smartphone app Progressive Voices which aggregates all progressive content that is seen, heard or read. In 2012, PV launched a streaming radio service, The Progressive Voices Channel on TuneIn.
The websites for 'Let Majority Rule' and Progressive Voices are LetMajorityRule.org and ProgressiveVoices.com.
Their Twitter handles are @LetMajorityRule and @ProgVoice. Jon's handle is @JonSinton.
