New York’s communities work hard to thrive, but years of protecting wealth and corporations have left essential services underfunded. Federal cuts to health care, nutritional assistance, and other vital programs now threaten to make life even harder for working families, deepening the very inequities we fight to address daily.
New York State must step up and fill the gaps the reckless actions of the federal government are creating. Lawmakers must begin by raising revenue fairly, making sure that millionaires, billionaires, and highly profitable corporations pay their share. The Invest in Our New York campaign, of which AQE is a proud member, offers a range of revenue solutions to meet these needs, including taxing the ultra-wealthy, closing corporate loopholes, and reinvesting in universal child care, housing, and public education.
By choosing to stand with working families over the wealthiest New Yorkers, lawmakers can protect schools, health care, child care, and essential services from harmful cuts and federal disinvestment.
