Join Food & Water Action for weekly door-knocking in Congressional District 17 to take back the House by electing Cait Conley. We'll be out on Thursdays in Westchester and Sundays in Rockland (separate sign-up link). You'll get trained on how to canvass, have fun, and chat with your neighbors! Why join us? Rep. Mike Lawler is voting away our rights to clean water, a safe climate, and healthy food. - He was among the deciding votes on the disastrous Big Ugly Bill that gutted essential services while giving handouts to fossil fuel companies and billionaires. - He voted to kick 10,000 households in his district off food assistance and to take healthcare away from thousands more. - He co-sponsored a bill to take federal funding away from local government wastewater systems and facilitate wastewater privatization, which can lead to higher bills for households and local businesses. - He voted to cut funding that would protect children from lead poisoning and to make it easier to fast-track the approval of dirty fossil fuel infrastructure and expansions (like the Enbridge pipeline that runs through his district) that will raise our utility bills. These actions are despicable and will directly impact thousands of New Yorkers who call the lower Hudson Valley their home. Join us to talk to our neighbors across Congressional District 17 about why Cait Conley is the best choice to win data center regulations in Congress, stop new nuclear from being built at Indian Point, and stop cuts to food assistance and clean water funding. No prior canvassing experience is necessary. We'll train you before the canvass starts - join us!
