The Trump administration’s proposed budget eliminates LIHEAP and the Weatherization Assistance Program, putting over six million vulnerable households—including children, seniors, and veterans—at risk of losing access to essential utilities.

On Monday evening, 55-year-old Shauna Thomas was found dead in her St. Ann, Missouri apartment—just two weeks after Ameren Missouri shut off her electricity due to unpaid bills. Her death is a heartbreaking reminder of how energy insecurity can have fatal consequences.

🚨 Until May 31st, NYC law requires building owners to maintain indoor temps of at least
68°F from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. when it's below 55ºF outside, and no lower than 62°F overnight-regardless of the weather. If your home is cold this season, make sure to contact your landlord first then call 311. #law
