Los Cabricanecos know, community protects community. Organizing is our power to protect each other! #CommunityStrength

When these emergencies strike, no New Yorker should be forced to make the impossible choice between protecting their health and keeping a paycheck. Thank you @SolagesNY and @HarryBBronson for calling on the NY Legislature to fix paid medical leave: https://t.co/iMgLobyPR1

In the news: Check out this article from Amir Khafagy. The story shared here is from an LWC member. Like many others, immigrant Mr. Guerrero is suffering retaliation for demanding his rights. No more abuse✊🏾

TODAY. Child Care For All NJ launches.

Parents, providers, and community are at the Statehouse Annex Courtyard to demand a child care system rooted in racial and gender. We're joining the national #DayWithoutChildCare because this fight is everywhere.

CEOs like Dave Bolotsky know paid leave is good for business. But too many New Yorkers struggle to stay afloat financially when serious health needs arise. Fix NY's paid medical leave – pass A9571/S172! @NYSA_Majority @GovKathyHochul  @AndreaSCousins https://t.co/VkfLNmZR6b

$170 a week is not support. It is an insult to someone who has given years of honest work." Listen to business owners like Dave Bolotsky – pass A9571/S172 and fix paid medical leave! @NYSA_Majority @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins https://t.co/VkfLNmZR6b
