Grassroots progressive organization. A chapter of Our Revolution, NYPAN, and Indivisible. We fight for progressive ideals and policies.

Saying that migrants from all over the world arriving here “will destroy New York City” is repugnant MAGA garbage.

10K a month? In 1907, that many came in a *day* — and it MADE this city.

Let’s drop this demagoguery and invest in welcoming asylum seekers and getting them work.

The final round of hearings for the LIPA Commission process begin next week!

With news of PSEG’s egregious executive bonuses, failed performance targets, & unsolicited lobbying against public power, there has never been a better time to plug in.

RSVP! https://t.co/iOBK85VK8z

NEW: Automatic reenrollment to health insurance ended with the end of the declaration of emergency. So @HealthNYGov Commissioner James McDonald and I wrote this @QNS op-ed to remind residents to reapply and fast. Read for more info! https://t.co/TdWL8a4KK8

We stand with tenants in Hempstead who demand to live with dignity. Their slumlord landlord fails to provide safe living conditions or take care of the property, while demanding higher rents and more fees. Our fellow Long Islanders deserve better.

310 not-drag queens reported for sexual abuse in a state where Republicans are trying to ban drag shows to “protect kids.”

Long Island Activists Endorses @KenForIslip for the Town of Islip Supervisor.

Ken Colon will make sure the town government works for all of Islip's residents not just for a few.

[Campaign for New York Health 🍎 @NYHCampaign]

87% of @sagaftra members do not meet the minimum requirements to receive health coverage.

The New York Health Act and #MedicareForAll would guarantee healthcare for everyone, and strengthen unions by removing healthcare as a bargaining chip used by employers.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip.

Healthcare shouldn’t be tied to employment.

Healthcare is a human right.

The #NYHA and #MedicareForAll would guarantee healthcare for everyone, protect workers and strengthen unions.

#UnionStrong

The Working Families Party is dedicated to building power and making the lives of all Long Islanders better.

We join with @SolagesNY in standing up against rake hikes (35%) from Liberty Water here in Nassau County.

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

BREAKING: we just fully shut down a fundraiser headlined by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Schumer took $283,200 from NextEra. In exchange he greenlit the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

This is a death sentence for us. So we shut down his event. And we did not apologize.

[Campaign for New York Health 🍎 @NYHCampaign]

Amazed by the tenants who came out tonight and thankful for everyone who showed up to support.

Even the landlords started sounding sheepish trying to compare their hardships to the REAL struggles that renters are facing.

[WFP Nassau County @WFP_Nassau]

Tonight was the last public hearing before the Nassaau County Rent Guidlines Board votes on to raise the rent on the stabilized apartments next Wednesday. Tenants, legislators, and organizers came out strong in opposition to any rent hikes. #TheRentIsTooDamnHigh

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

There’s just no denying it.

Corporations raised prices to take advantage of a global crisis.

While working people struggle to afford basic necessities, billionaire CEOs are still clinging to their profit margins.
