PRRIA Rally

On Monday, May 11th, 2026, the Sierra Club is holding a rally in Albany to urge lawmakers to pass the Plastic Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA). It is a bill that will cut toxic plastic packaging at the source, reduce climate pollution, save taxpayers money, and strengthen recycling and reuse systems across New York.

Big Plastic’s lobbyists — including lobbyists for the chemical and fossil fuel industries - are in Albany every day, pounding legislators to convince them to kill this bill. We need your presence in Albany to ensure that legislators hear from the people they actually represent.

What to Expect

A complete agenda will be sent upon registration or contact chair@lisierraclub.org for it.

If you’re new to this, don’t worry! You’ll be part of a team with an experienced leader, and we’ll provide talking points and written materials in advance.

After you RSVP, you’ll receive an invitation to a virtual briefing during which we’ll review the bill, go over the schedule, and share tips for effective advocacy.
