A group of student activists from Forest Hills High School gathered to raise awareness and support from their local elected officials for the New York Climate and Community Investment Act (CCIA) at Juniper Valley Park on Wednesday, April 7.

About a dozen students set up signs along a corner of the Middle Village park at 80th Street — with one that read “Make Polluters Pay, Pass The CCIA” attached to strings hanging from a tree and a lamp post — and spoke with community members about the newly introduced bill.
