I’m with Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N.. I spoke to Kate Lisa about this today too. Now is the time to be proactive. We should hold a special session to pass legislation to protect our most vulnerable New Yorkers from the expected Trump admin. Resistance should start now.

Today, New York City Council is holding a hearing on the 30/60 day shelter rules. It's time to put a stop to these inhumane policies that destabilize individuals and families – Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, end these dangerous rules that are unconscionable, unacceptable, and go against our city’s values.

New York can be a leader in child poverty reduction! Yesterday afternoon advocates, allies, & organizations gathered on the steps of the State Capitol in Albany to support #childpoverty reduction efforts. Our own staff/board, YouthAction members, & CLC participants joined too.

📢Transgender kids + adults are not political pawns. The morally repugnant rhetoric that’s being spewed by Rep. Nancy Mace + the GOP must be met with equal outrage + resistance. Never forget: an attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us. #TransRemembranceDay🏳️‍⚧️

Adriene Holder of The Legal Aid Society delivered remarks in Albany yesterday for the #NYcanEndChildPoverty rally hosted by Schuyler Center. Ending child poverty is possible, and together, we can hold our leaders accountable to make New York the best place for every child to
