Saturday, over 100 protestors floodied the front of the New York State Executive Mansion, with one message. 

“We need to act, and we’re way behind the ball on this, we gotta get out in front," said Al Hicks, a climate justice advocate.

Hicks, one of many advocates, voicing concern over the state of our climate.

“If we don't act our children and grandchildren are going to suffer greatly," said Hicks.

In just a few days, Governor Andrew Cuomo faces a primary challenge from Cynthia Nixon. 

If he’s re-elected in November voters like Mary Costello, who attended the Albany rally, would like the governor to think differently about the environment.

“I don't know if we’ve done enough, and he needs to know people are concerned and that we continue to move into the right direction," said Costello.

In 2014, Governor Cuomoor banned fracking in New York State.

But many say he hasn't gone far enough, cting a state proposal to put a natural gas power plant on Sheridan Avenue, and the diesel fuel trucks that run through the city's South End. 

“Thats the first step people have to agree there's a problem, and thats a challenge with something like this because people make money by trashing the world we live on," said Hicks.
