Yes, me too. @governor.ny.gov Let's #CreatePublicBanksNow! in #NewYorkState Let's convert our #GreenBank into a #GreenInfrastructureBank which can fund the #CLCPA @citizenactionny.org #InvestInOurNY!
"A majority of New Yorkers – including more than 60% of New York City residents – support Mamdani’s proposal to raise income taxes on millionaires in the city, according to a new Siena poll."
💪We couldn't agree more with @mayor.nyc.gov. Albany must #TaxTheRich so we can #InvestInOurNY!
We need a New York that invests in care for ALL of us! ✊
#InvestInOurNY
Our allied elected officials have been working tirelessly to push for immigration protections and a solution to the accessibility crisis New Yorkers are facing.
Without the New York for All Act (#NY4All) or the #InvestInOurNY package, immigrant + working-class communities will remain vulnerable.
Today, our members are joining thousands of working class New Yorkers w/ @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social in Albany to demand urgent action to address the rising cost of living across the state.
It’s time to #TaxTheRich to #InvestInOurNY!
Earlier this month, our members travelled to Albany for our annual Democracy Day, to urge state legislators to URGENTLY pass the New York for All Act (#NY4All) and the #InvestInOurNY package.
Time to finish the job and ensure that every New Yorker, regardless of immigration status, feels safe!
The Town Hall focused on how our allied legislators planned to protect New Yorkers from the federal administration’s cuts and targeting of immigrants. Thank you for showing up for immigrant and working-class New Yorkers. 💪
Time to finish the job and pass #NY4All and #InvestInOurNY!
🧵 our allied elected officials, @votejgr.bsky.social + @dianaforqueens.com, along with our allies in the fight, @aqeny.bsky.social & Center for Anti-violence education, showed up for immigrant and working class NYers.
Both elected officials vowed to push for #NY4All & #InvestInOurNY in Albany!
This evening, our members are highlighting the stories of NYers impacted by out-of-control immigration enforcement, rising costs, federal cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and more.
💪We’re counting on electeds like @votejgr.bsky.social & @dianaforqueens.com to push for #NY4All + #InvestInOurNY in Albany!
✊Today, at the Capitol, our members are delivering letters to @governor.ny.gov, @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, & @leaderasc.bsky.social urging them to take BOLD action & pass legislation that safeguards our communities from the federal government’s overreach into our state!
#NY4All #InvestInOurNY
Dropping our kids off at childcare, getting to work on time by the bus, and still being able to afford rent?
Yea, that's the New York we want.
#TaxTheRich
#InvestInOurNY
“A new poll found that New Yorkers are broadly in favor of taxing the rich: 64% of voters polled backing income tax increases on the top 5% of earners & 62% of voters polled supporting a higher corporate tax rate.”
NYers agree: taxing the wealthiest in NY is how we can #InvestInOurNY! #TaxTheRich
This isn't a political issue, it's a New Yorker issue. Federal funding cuts will make life harder for ALL of us. So we need ALL of our lawmakers to put us (not the 1%) first.
No more partisan games: keep our healthcare whole, protect our communities, #InvestInOurNY.
🚨BREAKING: A new poll shows New Yorkers across the state want the wealthy to pay their fair share to fund universal childcare, housing & public transportation.
State lawmakers must 👟STEP UP👟 and take the federal funding cuts head on! It's time to #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY

Today, we are at Foley Square with the @investinourny.bsky.social coalition to let @governor.ny.gov and Legislative Leadership know that NOW is the time to protect our communities from the Federal Budget Scam. #InvestInOurNY #NY4All
@vocal-ny.bsky.social @jawanza.bsky.social
Over 45 organizations across NY, representing thousands of New Yorkers, joined together, urging State Leaders to convene a #SpecialSessionNow and protect working-class families from the Federal Budget Scam.
🚨 @governor.ny.gov & NYS lawmakers: the time to act is NOW! #InvestInOurNY #NY4All
Thank you @emilyassembly.bsky.social for standing strong in your support of our immigrant communities & ensuring Albany leadership is held accountable for their inaction to protect New Yorkers from federal attacks. #InvestInOurNY #NY4All
We appreciate you speaking truth to power, Senator @jabaribrisport.bsky.social & reminding our communities that we have enough wealth in this state to provide for everyone if the wealthiest minority pays their fair share! #InvestInOurNY
Thank you Senator @juliasalazar.bsky.social for your ongoing support in the fight for respect and dignity of all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, and your commitment to call on NYS leadership for a special session. #InvestInOurNY #NY4All
“New York is under attack from a Trump administration hellbent on making us sicker, hungrier, and less safe, all while making millionaires and billionaires even richer with unfair tax breaks. The Federal Budget Scam will make life harder: hospitals will close, health insurance premiums and utility bills will skyrocket, and public benefits — which we all contribute to — will be inaccessible to those who need them. “State lawmakers must protect our communities by convening a special session to: Fund our healthcare system and ensure New York is affordable for everyone by making the super-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes; and Keep New Yorkers safe by passing the New York for All and Dignity Not Detention Acts. New Yorkers can't wait any longer for lawmakers to fight back.”

Earlier this morning, #InvestInOurNY and 48 other organzations released a statement, urging Gov. Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Leader Stewart-Cousins to convene a special session and protect New Yorkers from the Federal Budget Scam.
New Yorkers can't wait any longer for lawmakers to fight back.
Today’s vote is a stark reminder that New York’s extremist Congressional Republicans are willing to forsake their constituents so that billionaires get more handouts. By voting to enact Donald Trump’s deadly budget bill, billionaires and corporations will get richer while over one million working-class New Yorkers lose healthcare, children go hungry, and rural hospitals face permanent closure. “New Yorkers deserve representatives who protect working-class families, not politicians who sacrifice their constituents’ well-being for their billionaire donors. We will remember this betrayal and hold them accountable. “Not all needs to be lost: Governor Hochul and the Legislature can show the nation what state leadership looks like. State leaders can increase taxes on New York’s millionaires –– those who stand to gain the most from this federal budget bill –– and use those new public funds to protect our communities from the most extreme cuts.
Governor Hochul and State Lawmakers must do what New York's GOP Congressmembers refused to do: stand up for New Yorkers.
It's time to #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY
Leadership "said they do not plan to address the cuts in the state budget...Rivera proposed taxing the rich..." 💪
THAT'S the leadership we need. Thank you, Sen. Rivera, for fighting to #InvestInOurNY instead of making cuts!
