This Tax Day, we’re reminded that while everyday New Yorkers are choosing between paying for groceries, rent or utility bills, billionaires pay less in taxes than most working families.
Governor Hochul can change that but only if we make her. Tax the rich so our communities can thrive!

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
Working families showed up in Buffalo with a clear message: tax the rich, stop the cuts, fund our communities. Gov. Hochul MUST choose whose side she’s on.

New York State leaders have the power to protect affordable health coverage for working families who rely on the NY State of Health Marketplace and ensure immigrants can keep the care they need.
Write your state legislators today and tell them:
Protect affordable care!
Protect our coverage!

Today, April 1st, 450,000 New Yorkers are being informed they will lose health insurance coverage starting July 1st. This isn't an April Fools joke, it's reality. Call upon New York policymakers to protect coverage!
This isn’t a punchline, it’s reality.
Today, 450,000 New Yorkers were informed that they will lose their health coverage starting July 1st. Call upon the Governor and the Legislature to protect access to health insurance in the final budget: bit.ly/ProtectHealthCoverage.
“...If half a million people suddenly lose coverage and aren’t able to go to the hospital or the doctor, that feeds through into hospital closures, into long wait lines at the emergency room."

Delaying the Climate Law keeps NY hooked to expensive fossil fuels & we are seeing the consequences of that. “Look at the gas pump right now. Look at our heating bills. The current system that we live in is not affordable." @citizenactionny.org via cbs6albany.com/news/local/p...
The clock is ticking for @governor.ny.gov to tax the rich ⏰
This is bigger than New York. This is about whether our politicians stand up to Trump's pro-oligarch agenda.
Sunday, join our partners and Bernie for a rally to tax the rich–and fight oligarchy.

Today, our allies spoke at the Capitol because we’re tired of @governor.ny.gov using scare tactics and all her power to gut the Climate Law. We need to lower bills with renewable energy, make polluters pay, and fight climate change–that’s why we need to protect and fully implement our Climate Law.
We’re making some noise in Albany today. New Yorkers are united: Don’t touch that Climate Law! ✊🔥

We’re kicking off our presser in Albany to tell legislators we need to lower our bills with more clean, renewable energy and by holding greedy utilities accountable! We need the legislature to hold the line on defending our Climate Law.
Activists from across the state roving the hallways, holding a big banner that says "DEFEND NY'S CLIMATE LAW" in Albany to urge our legislators to reject the attacks on our climate law from Governor Hochul

“She needs to release these regulations and put forward a strong policy that does protect our pocketbook and deploys renewable energy,” said Ethan Gormley @egormley.bsky.social, Climate Organizer at Citizen Action.

Citizen Action of New York Responds to Governor Hochul’s Climate Law Rollbacks Read full release at cit.ac/press
“The Governor’s proposal to delay key regulations until 2030 would stall progress – meanwhile the climate crisis worsens and everyday New Yorkers bear the cost as we keep spending millions of dollars repairing and expanding our state’s gas infrastructure."

The People. United. Will NEVER Be Defeated.
Thank you @citizenactionny.org for endorsing our campaign.
Let's go win NY15 in #TheBronx.
Raise Wages. Reduce Costs. Reimagine The Bronx
I Think You Should Leave meme "Oh, my God, she admit it!" Rebecca C. Lewis's tweet reads: "Gov. Hochul explicitly said today her bit to change the state's climate law will NOT lower utility rates. "The false narrative is that I'm telling people their utility rates are higher because of the CLCPA. That would be a stupid thing t osay, because it's not in effect yet."
Utility bills are rising, and fossil fuel interests are pushing more gas infrastructure into our state.
Tell Albany: #NoClimateRollbacks ↓
Business as usual won’t cut it. This is our moment to organize working families across Upstate New York and fight for universal childcare, Medicare for All, and safe housing.
I’m proud to have @citizenactionny.org in that fight. Join us!
Incredibly proud to have the support of @citizenactionny.org: an organization that knows we don’t just need new representation; we need a new system. 🛠️
Together, we're going to tax the rich, protect tenants, and fight the climate crisis, ensuring every worker can live with true dignity. 🤝❤️
Let's goo!
