New York’s communities work hard so their families can thrive, but years of protecting wealth and corporations have left essential services underfunded. Federal cuts to healthcare, nutritional assistance, and other vital programs threaten to make life even harder for working families, deepening the very inequities we fight to address daily.
We call on the legislature to convene a special session this fall to safeguard public services and prioritize children and families. It must also defend against federal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and other social supports. This begins with lawmakers passing legislation to raise revenue fairly, making sure that millionaires, billionaires, and highly profitable corporations pay their fair share. The Invest in Our New York campaign offers a range of revenue solutions to meet these needs, including taxing the ultra-wealthy, closing corporate loopholes, and reinvesting in health care, housing, public education, and public safety.
By choosing to stand with working families over the wealthiest, lawmakers can protect schools, healthcare, child care, and essential services from harmful cuts and federal disinvestment.
