In one of the richest states in the richest country, there is no reason why any New Yorker should be living in poverty.

@NYWFP @VOCALNewYork @MaketheRoadAct @Met_Council @CuffhAction @CVHPower @nychange @AnaMariaforNY @Jasgripper @jesswisneski Great to hear Daniel Vicente @UAW - "We deserve pathway into the middle class." Powerful speech on how UAW stand up strike tapped into that struggle, and got people paid.

It’s a joy to gather with @NYWFP leaders and affiliates from across the state today.

This is our political family. ❤️

Yesterday, reports emerged that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is prepared to spend over $100 MILLION to oust Working Families Party champions from Congress in 2024.

If these reports are accurate, we’re in completely unprecedented territory. 🧵

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

HUGE STEP FOR CEASEFIRE: @RepBeccaB just became the first Jewish member of Congress to back the call for a ceasefire.

At least 32 members of Congress are now calling for a ceasefire. The call for humanity is growing stronger — we're showing how loud uniting our voices can be.

Every day, more Palestinians are being killed by Israeli airstrikes and starving under military siege.

It's the U.S.' responsibility to act now to prevent further escalation & protect Israelis and Palestinians.

We're proud to endorse this resolution calling for a #CeasefireNOW

“Kim projects big hopes for [the next US Senator]. She wants someone who’ll appeal to the 3 out of every 4 voters under 30 who are POC + envisions a senator who will have an outsize national presence like @BernieSanders + @EWarren.” #PorterLeeWFP @CA_WFP

[🐝 ACCE 🐝 @CalOrganize]

Today, over 700 tenants with ACCE & our allies at @HousingNowCA - many facing eviction, rent increases, or homelessness - lobbied, rallied, & took over the Capitol streets to urge our legislators to pass #SB567. It was a beautiful day! #HousingIsAHumanRight

NEW: @Brandon4Chicago has won his election for mayor of Chicago.

This is a win for the history books. Brandon Johnson just defeated a wave of far-right money and misinformation thanks to people power and his positive vision for a safe and thriving Chicago.

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

This 100-foot scroll holds the names of New Yorkers who need home care, but can't get it because of the workforce shortage. We're gathered around it for tonight's #TaxTheRichTakeover.

[Daniel Altschuler 🦋 @altochulo.bsky.social @altochulo]

Eight of us were just arrested in a civil disobedience to demand that @GovKathyHochul follow the legislature’s lead and include #Coverage4All in the state budget.

A righteous cause well worth the arrest. We won’t back down. ✊

[SEIU Local 99 @SEIULocal99]

We’re often the first #LAUSD employees that students see in the early morning when we pick them up and the last ones they see when we drop them off.

WE ARE ESSENTIAL AND DEMAND RESPECT. #LAUSDStrike #UnionsForAll #United4LASchools

[Delia Ramirez @DeliaRamirezIL]

Today is International Women’s Day. But where does @PaulVallas stand on women’s issues? Paul Vallas said “fundamentally, I oppose abortion.” We deserve a Mayor who will uphold the right to choose and everyone's bodily autonomy. #BrandonIsBetter

[Fiscal Policy Institute @NYFiscalPolicy]

The truth about corporate taxes:

➡️ Corporations doing business in New York pay tax based on their sales in NY — not their location.

➡️ A corporation can move its headquarters into or out of the state without affecting its NYS corporate tax liability.

BREAKING: @Brandon4chicago advances to the runoff for Mayor of Chicago!

A teacher, organizer, and commissioner, Brandon Johnson is a battle-tested leader who is committed to advancing economic justice, championing working families, and building a stronger, more equitable city.

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

It’s not the millionaires who are being forced out of New York, it’s working families of color.
