FEW Coalition stands in solidarity w Housing Justice For All, the unhoused & millions of tenants across NY calling for a fair & just housing package. Any deal that guts #GoodCause , rolls back rent stabilization & omits HAVP is unacceptable. Housing is a human right.

This year’s one-house budgets excluded the Unemployment Bridge Program, but the fight for the rights of excluded workers doesn’t stop. 

We’ll continue to demand access to the safety net for ALL NYers — for good. #ExcludedNoMore

“We’re not asking for a handout. We pay our taxes too — we’re only asking for what is fair!” - Maria Mejia, Make the Road NY 🦋

For four years we’ve been fighting for a permanent safety net.

📣Governor Kathy Hochul Carl E. Heastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins, stop leaving excluded workers behind!

“UBP helped me pay off my rent, keep my family in our country & put food on our table.”- Areli Roa, Freelancer

The Unemployment Bridge Program wouldn’t cost average NYers anything. A small tax on Big Tech could fully fund this program- there was NO excuse.

“I, just like 1000s of other delivery workers do this job to sustain our families… & each day it’s more precarious.”- Antonio Solis

W/o the Unemployment Bridge Program, workers won’t be able to pay bills, afford healthcare, food or leave unsafe work.  #ExcludedNoMore

🌦️Rain or shine: excluded workers are in 📍Times Square today w/ support from across the state because Albany left us behind yet again in this year's budget.

Governor Kathy Hochul Carl E. Heastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins, when will you recognize the value of our labor? #ExcludedNoMore

Our safety net isn't meeting the needs of New York’s most vulnerable workers. We’re at #SOMOS 2024 discussing how we can expand the safety net to make sure excluded workers can stay afloat and stand up to exploitation on the job.

#SOMOS #ExcludedNoMore

BREAKING: We’re proud to join worker and advocacy organizations demand NY Legislature meet the needs of essential workers in the state budget. See our statement & policy priorities 👇🏽 #WorkerJustice #ExcludedNoMore

“I want to create an unemployment bridge program that covers anyone who doesn’t fall under traditional UI, as long as they provide proof of self, residence and lost wages.

That should be a right of every New York worker.”

✊✊✊ NY Senator Jessica Ramos
