I'm in the @AmplifyingAT Zoom room to demand expanded healthcare, Good Cause Eviction, the Excluded No More Bill, protection for trans kids in NY schools, and preservation of the bail reform law in NY state. Join us today or every Friday at 1pm ET! #amplifyingactiviststogether
Across the state, Black people are reincarcerated for technical parole violations at 5 times the rate of whites, and Latinx people are 30% more likely to be returned to prison for a technical violation. @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie: make #LessIsMoreNY law this session!
#COVID19 is spreading like wildfire in NY Prisons. If @NYGovCuomo supported #LessIsMoreNY in 2020, there would have been 5,000 fewer people who would have been susceptible to covid-19 in jails & prisons across NY. It's time to make #LessIsMoreNY law!
I’m in the #AmplifyingActivistsTogether Zoom with @PattenLauren as she leads us in relational organizing for defund City Council candidates and calling former + likely co-sponsors of the #LessIsMoreNY Act in the NY Assembly. Join us every Friday @ 1! Link in bio: @AmplifyingAT
"We must ensure that we remove all barriers to economic recovery and help all New Yorkers get back on their feet," said AM @fred_thiele. That's right! Workers are impacted statewide, and we need to #FundExcludedWorkers without barriers or obstacles!

“To ensure that people get what they need and get a proper amount, as well, we have to still look at pushing for more." - Rene Mejía of @NLMHlive. $3.5 billion to #FundExcludedWorkers is the MINIMUM for parity with existing benefits for other workers.

NYS must #FundExcludedWorkers now! Nearly one year into COVID & hundreds of thousands of NYers are blocked from unemployment and all income relief - due to immigration status or recent incarceration - creating a humanitarian crisis as well as a disaster for the entire economy.
Even millionaires are calling to #TaxTheRich, "New York's future depends on all of us investing our fair share in taxes." @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins, we need your public support: raise revenue to #FundExcludedWorkers.
