For too long, our communities have fought to improve working New Yorkers’ lives, only to see progress blocked by megadonors. We need @GovKathyHochul to fund and implement NY’s public campaign financing program fully so ordinary people have a meaningful say in Albany. #FundthePCFP
Promising update. Our leaders have long stood behind #PublicCampaignFinancing in NY. We look forward to seeing this through in the final budget and keeping the program going strong in 2024. #FairElectionsNY #FundthePCFP
A system of publicly financed campaigns is expected to go through funded in the state budget without a delay in implementation according to a source. Lawmakers had considered delaying funding this election cycle.
Sen. @SalazarSenate wrote in 2019 that public financing “will usher in a new era when working-class people have a more equal chance of being heard.” That era is almost here with NY’s new program in effect for the 2024 cycle

Democracy drives all the issues we care about!
We want/need a democracy where $50 in-district donation to a candidate is worth more than $500 donation from wealthy donor out-district w real estate interest in it.@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins #FundthePCFP

Given what’s happening in TN, it’s unconscionable that some in NY see democracy as a “wedge issue.” That’s who we are! @CarlHeastie, @AndreaSCousins and @GovKathyHochul, we must protect our democracy. Let’s get the PCFP budgeted and available for the 2024 elections. #FundthePCFP
Following years of promises, it's unacceptable for lawmakers to consider using the public campaign finance program as a “wedge issue” in the delayed state budget. The program is not only law, it is up and running for the 2024 cycle.
That’s why we call on the NYS Legislature and Governor Hochul to #FundThePCFP and make it available without delay for elections in 2024."

Small donations have the added effect of being a “gateway” for constituents to become more politically action. Bring more people into the democratic process. Another reason to #FundThePCFP
A few years ago, New York lawmakers finally agreed to a public campaign finance program that would give more of a voice to everyday New Yorkers. But the delayed budget negotiations in Albany might be a huge setback for fairer elections — a 🧵 below.
.@LindaBRosenthal @bradhoylman please stand up for voters in our district! I’m counting on you to FULLY fund & implement NY’s public financing program in this budget. This is our best chance to counter big money flooding our elections & give voice to all NYers. #FundthePCFP
The time is NOW to stand up for voters in our district to fund & implement NY’s public financing program. It's the best shot to counter big money flooding elections #FundthePCFP

We're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get to work when it comes to fighting for democracy. We demand that the state legislature fully funds the #PCFP in their state budget. We need to make public office accessible to all. #FundthePCFP https://t.co/rEKwUvQJcY
LWVNYS joined @FairElectionsNY in calling on the NYS legislature to #FundthePCFP.
Elected officials should be beholden to their constituents, not their large donors. It’s up to the legislature to finish this historic improvement to our broken campaign finance system.
We won’t sleep until the Public Campaign Finance Program is fully funded for 2024. New Yorkers DESERVE a greater voice in our elections. #FairElectionsNoDelay
"The infrastructure is in place for public financing to be fully realized...the Governor and State Legislature must follow through on this commitment and provide the necessary funding."https://t.co/nexcRpxe7v @BrennanCenter @FairElectionsNY #FundthePCFP #CampaignFinance
Our communities deserve a state government responsive to the needs of the people, not big industry donors and the wealthy elite. This program would put the power back in the hands of the people of NY—we need elections & officials that work for us! #FundthePCFP #FairElections

4 years to the day that we rallied in front of the Governor’s office for a NY State public campaign finance program in that year’s State Budget we are headed to Albany to push for funding for the program in the current budget being negotiated. #FundthePCFP #FairElectionsNoDelay
As our country grows more diverse, so should our government. #FairElectionsNoDelay #FundthePCFP @nysenate @nysa_majority @maketheroadNY @thenyic @citizenactionny https://t.co/1xSV5pHSj9
