I wasn't sure if carbontax.org was a good site, but then saw a number of the founders worked for Move NY, and upon googling them, I found that they are fighting for congestion pricing in NY. Which signals to me that they get it.
The Climate Protection and Justice Act is stuck in the Senate Finance Committee [1]. If your Senator is listed on its membership page [2], call them.
