Have you or someone you know called 911 for a mental health crisis in NYC? B-HEARD sends health professionals, not just police, to respond. But is it working? We need your help. Take the survey here: https://t.co/ibIldIrCDR

[NY Renews @NYRenews]

NY's legislature passed what could become a first-in-the-nation data center moratorium. It is a testament to the power of organizers, residents, and frontline communities across NY, whose advocacy has helped secure this win. Time to sign, @GovKathyHochul!

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

There is a big push to pass the data center moratorium A11560/S10642 before end of session — TODAY.
If it doesn't go to committee today, it's dead for this session.

The Governor's budget included nearly 25% less in IOLA funding than needed. The Senate recommends restoring $102.5M + an additional $50M for civil legal services. Time is of the essence — take action now: https://t.co/YAeLxQqGRy

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

The Governor is trying to weaken the CLCPA behind closed doors. Changes to our climate policy should not be rushed through budget negotiations.

Tell Governor Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins: implement the CLCPA—not weaken it: https://t.co/MkhVZITF1H

This isn’t a punchline, it’s reality.

Today, 450,000 New Yorkers were informed that they will lose their health coverage starting July 1st. Call upon the Governor and the Legislature to protect access to health insurance in the final budget: https://t.co/jLGB97esYG.

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

We urge @GovKathyHochul and the Legislature to ensure full IOLA funding is included in the final enacted budget. New Yorkers facing legal crises deserve nothing less.

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

We’re grateful to the NY Legislature for restoring full funding for the IOLA Fund in their one-house budget proposals. Civil legal services help New Yorkers facing eviction, domestic violence, immigration challenges and more access justice when it matters most. 🧵

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

IOLA funding does not come from taxpayer dollars. It comes from interest earned on attorney escrow accounts and is dedicated by law to supporting civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

Thank you to legislative leaders who helped make this possible – including @AndreaSCousins, @LizKrueger, @LuisSepulvedaNY, @CharlesDLavine, @JGPretlow, and Speaker Carl Heastie – for prioritizing access to justice.

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

Both houses restored IOLA to $102.5M, and the Senate proposal goes further with an additional $50M investment in civil legal services, bringing the total to $152.5M.

[NYLPI @NYLPI]

🚨 New York must restore full IOLA funding in the final budget. @GovKathyHochul’s 30-day amendments did NOT provide the full $102.5M requested for the IOLA Fund – putting civil legal services at risk.

@EnvDefenseFund @SenatorHarckham Climate resilience matters deeply for the communities we serve!

"Senate passage of the Climate Resilient New York Act is an exciting step forward in building a stronger, more climate-ready New York." @EnvDefenseFund
