Yesterday, we joined 1,500+ New Yorkers in Albany to demand that @govkathyhochul TAX THE RICH and fully fund universal childcare, while protecting Medicaid, SNAP, and essential services from federal cuts.
We're launching the national Working Families Guarantee.
We can win a real agenda for working people — but only if we fight for it.

PK Ward 8 said Yes to Atonna! I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee to represent the neighborhood where I grew up. My campaign mobilized 100+ volunteers to knock 3,000+ doors. Thank you to the voters for believing in me. I’ll fight every day to put Poughkeepsie over profit!
Only a few months ago Zohran was polling at 1%. @NYWFP and @nycDSA put the entire force of their organizations behind electing Zorhan, even when a victory seemed far from possible. We owe them a massive debt of gratitude. From the very beginning, they saw in Zorhan what so many of us only recently came to see. The campaigning here has set a new blueprint for the next generation of Democratic leaders.
I’m honored to be endorsed by the Dutchess County Central Labor Council, CWA 1120, and my union Workers United Upstate NY in my campaign for Poughkeepsie Ward 8. I’ve stood with labor to save our Social Security office, protect our Post Offices and win fair contracts. Solidarity!
For years, @LindaBRosenthal, @BrianKavanaghNY and the statewide tenant movement has fought for the Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) to help low-income and homeless New Yorkers secure stable homes.
And it's finally been won.
my eyes are burning!!!! 😭 😭 come out on Sunday, June 8th at 12pm to Academy Green Park, Kingston to protest this wild proposal. rsvp at https://t.co/b09qA6XFUJ
We need people in every part of this country to launch progressive campaigns that represent the needs of the working class.
If you have ever considered running for office, now is the time.
Billionaires — in both parties — decide what legislation passes and which candidates run for office.
Americans understand that the political system in this country is corrupt.
Fascists are not welcome in New York. Trump and ICE cannot be allowed to operate with impunity, disappearing students, workers, and family members. It's time for state leaders to get real and pass Dignity Not Detention, New York for All, and stop any and all cooperation with ICE.
As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @ZohranKMamdani #1 🥳
To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!
Our campaign collected 262 signatures from Poughkeepsie Ward 8 voters (3.5 times the minimum to be on the ballot)! Our vision for a city that resists Trump, replaces lead pipes, repaves roads and protects tenants and homeowners is resonating. Come canvass: https://t.co/8EUAKYf5a4
If I were delaying a state budget for 20m people, had fellow Democrats in both legislative chambers fed up with me, and had former Republican Governor George Pataki praising me, I would take a moment for self-reflection.
Students within the @SUNY system are now having their visas revoked for no clear reason. Our higher education system is becoming a hunting ground for this lawless administration.

Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now.
I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter on the floor.
Disclosure deadline is May 15th. We’re about to learn a few things.
It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.
NY is in a housing crisis. The Assembly and Senate agree on putting the Housing Access Voucher Program in the state budget. So why hasn't it happened?
@GovKathyHochul is stalling negotiations with unrelated policies like a mask ban. Pass the budget with HAVP and no mask ban!
@NYSA_Majority
NEW: A mother and her three school-aged children detained by ICE/CBP on March 27 in Sackets Harbor, NY, have been RELEASED after an outpouring of anger from locals in northern New York
Solitary confinement is torture. Tell your Ulster County legislator: HANDS OFF HALT, vote NO on Res. 165 that repeals or amends HALT https://t.co/cHqI4FxfXk
