The Governor's budget included nearly 25% less in IOLA funding than needed. The Senate recommends restoring $102.5M + an additional $50M for civil legal services. Time is of the essence — take action now: actionnetwork.org/letters/supp...
The Governor is trying to weaken the CLCPA behind closed doors. Changes to our climate policy should not be rushed through budget negotiations.
Tell Governor Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins: implement the CLCPA—not weaken it: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
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/ProtectHealt....

We urge @governor.ny.gov and the Legislature to ensure full IOLA funding is included in the final enacted budget.
IOLA funding does not come from taxpayer dollars. It comes from interest on attorney escrow accounts and is dedicated to supporting civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.
Thank you to legislative leaders who championed this effort — including @leaderasc.bsky.social and @lizkrueger.bsky.social, along with Senate Judiciary Chair Luis Sepúlveda, Assembly Judiciary Chair Charles Lavine, Assembly Ways & Means Chair Gary Pretlow, and Speaker Carl Heastie.
Both houses restored IOLA to $102.5M, and the Senate proposal goes further with an additional $50M investment in civil legal services, bringing the total to $152.5M.
We’re grateful to the NY Legislature for restoring full funding for the IOLA Fund in their one-house budget proposals. Civil legal services help New Yorkers facing eviction, domestic violence, immigration challenges and more access justice when it matters most. 🧵
🚨 New York must restore full IOLA funding in the final budget. Governor Kathy Hochul’s 30-day amendments did NOT provide the full $102.5M requested for the IOLA Fund – putting civil legal services at risk.

This is NOT taxpayer money.
IOLA funds come from interest on attorney escrow accounts and are held by statute solely to support civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.

Climate resilience matters deeply for the communities we serve.
"Senate passage of the Climate Resilient New York Act is an exciting step forward in building a stronger, more climate-ready New York." - ensefund.bsky.social

In NYC, most people can get a ride in minutes.
Many wheelchair users can’t get one at all.
Only 7% of for-hire vehicles are accessible.
New NYLPI report — coverage THE CITY NY: www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/17/w...
The Executive Budget funds IOLA nearly 25% below what’s needed—forcing cuts to civil legal services across New York. This funding isn’t taxpayer money and can still be fixed.
Take action now: send letters to the Governor and legislators.

We’re one week away from Daniel’s Law Advocacy Day.

HUGE WIN: @governor.ny.gov just signed legislation that eliminates the 100-foot rule. This outdated policy let utility companies charge customers for the expansion of the fossil fuel system. With today’s signature, we are one step closer to cleaner heat, lower bills in NY.
Last week, 200+ New Yorkers gathered in Albany to urge @governor.ny.gov: Repeal the 100 foot rule and lower our energy bills! #CleanerHeatLowerBills #HeatpumpsNotPipelines
New York made major climate progress this year, but we need to defend it! On Dec 11, we’re gathering in Albany to urge Governor Hochul to sign the 100-Foot Rule Repeal.
