Cecil Corbin-Mark to be Honored in the U.S. House of Representatives Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) to Honor Our Late Friend & Colleague on the House Floor
Wednesday, November 18
5:00 - 7:00 PM ET
U.S. Representative Adriano Espaillat has informed us that he will deliver a short speech honoring Cecil Corbin-Mark on the floor of the House of Representatives this evening, which will become part of the official Congressional Record.
We cannot determine exactly when this will occur, but it should be between 5:00 & 7:00 PM ET. You can watch online via House TV or C-SPAN.
And don't forget that we will be holding an online memorial for Cecil tomorrow, November 19, at 6:00 PM ET. We have a great program lined up, and you can still RSVP here.
One of the policies that Cecil Corbin-Mark and Sonal Jessel had been working on is Intro 1947, which would amend the Climate Mobilization Act (New York City's Local Law 97). This amendment, which the Mayor signed into law yesterday, expands the number of buildings required to comply with the City's groundbreaking emission reduction targets while protecting affordable housing residents from having the cost of compliance passed on to them by landlords. Jessel, who spoke at the Mayor's press conference, was featured in Bloomberg Law's coverage of this New York City policy victory. Read the Article (PDF) and Read the Press Release
