We're Calling on the NYS Legislature to Lead

In this time of crisis and political upheaval in New York, we call on the New York State Legislature to lead.

We call on the New York Legislature to begin moving our state towards true economic and racial justice by investing in our schools, housing, healthcare, food security and more by passing the Invest in Our NY Act in the April 1st State Budget.

We are also calling for two full, independent investigations: into the attempted cover up of nursing home deaths, and into the allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct by Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Why is this important?

Covid-19 did not cause New York’s budget crisis; it simply deepened a long-standing wealth gap that resulted from decades of cuts to housing, health care, education, and other essential services while New York billionaires continued to grow their unreasonable wealth.

Everyone, including the Governor of New York, must be held accountable for their actions. And every allegation of sexual misconduct must be fully investigated, no matter who the subject of the allegation is.

It is time to bring the power back to the hands of the people.
