Yesterday, ESV and Make the Road Action hosted an Ice Cream Social at Kennedy Memorial Park in Hempstead. We provided sweet treats and discussed Rep. Anthony D’Esposito’s not so sweet voting record when it comes to education cuts. We urge him to stop voting to cut funding for local schools!

Hempstead kids and families are sharing their message with their Congress member Anthony P. D'Esposito : don’t defund our schools and future!

Republicans are normalizing using the tools of white supremacy to target immigrant communities of color. It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in a federal election. This bill only aims to create panic amongst registered voters.

STATEMENT: In response to Rep. Anthony D’Esposito's support for the SAVE Act, our member Yehobani Villalobos said: “Yet again, extremist Republicans are lying about our elections to advance their political agenda, causing chaos to deter millions of eligible community members from voting."

Political violence in all of its forms is abhorrent and causes irreparable harm to our democracy. We must commit to peaceful means of creating the change we want to see. Democracy, not violence, is the answer.

STATEMENT: In response to President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not seek a second term, our Theo Oshiro 🦋 said: “President Biden Biden made the right decision to step aside for the good of the country. The stakes for this election could not be higher…” Full statement👇

NOW: Long Island residents, including our members, alongside allies hold a rally at Long Beach boardwalk to call out Anthony P. D'Esposito vote to gut community water funding, as communities struggle to fund treatment facilities and experiences beach closures due to water contamination

Our member Yessenia Perez said: “Anthony P. D'Esposito voted to cut 25% of our community water funding. Simultaneously, he’s using immigrants as scapegoats, claiming we steal gov’t resources. He is WRONG; our labor helps keep this gov’t going. D’Esposito: stop playing political games.”

Last night, 200+ of our members from across New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania met to discuss the presidential election, and what's at stake for our communities. Sign up for updates at: maketheroadaction.org

“Our members are excited. Harris is a woman of color, & a person who comes from an immigrant family. So they see their children or themselves in this candidate. They feel that she is someone who at least understands where we’re coming from.” - Theo Oshiro 🦋 theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Yesterday, our members joined the Battleground New York campaign in Sleepy Hollow to call on Congressman Mike Lawler to stop blocking the Biden-Harris housing plan! Rep. Lawler refuses to support the plan to cap rent increases at 5%, building 200k new homes & providing $10k in mortgage relief.

Today on Long Island along w/ Empire State Voices, 1199SEIU💫, and New York Communities for Change, we rallied to highlight the harmful anti-union + anti-worker policies outlined in Project 2025. Rep. Anthony P. D'Esposito: disavow Project 2025 & fight for working families rather than billionaires & corporations.

Earlier today, unions, activists, and residents joined to bring attention to the anti-union and anti-middle-class policies of Project 2025. Huge shoutout to Make the Road Action, 1199SEIU💫, and New York Communities for Change for rallying dozens to demand that Rep. Anthony D’Esposito denounce this horrible agenda.
