We now have FIVE working groups! More at NYHA@nypan.org
People2People Working Group - Contact Naomi Zewde, naomi@nypan.org. People2People is working on materials - with Labor for canvassing among union groups and materials for different regions of the state - and scheduling events, locations, groups, and phone banks to get the word out and build the movement. Sign up here for canvassing!
Research Working Group - Contact Steven Cecchini, stevenc@nypan.org. Research continues to look for information to assist Electoral with power mapping our senators, to create county tax savings numbers, and to help create forceful flyers.
Labor Working Group - Contact Jeff Mikkelson, jeff@nypan.org. Labor is developing strategies and outreach materials to amplify existing support for and overcome lingering opposition to the NY Health Act among labor unions, focusing on the large public sector unions that wield significant influence over Democratic leadership and the legislative process.
Electoral Working Group - Contact Ting Barrow, tingb@nypan.org. Electoral has begun the process of power mapping every one of our state senators, and is bent on finding the levers that will move them to #PassNYHealth as well as a strategy to use those levers with other organizations during the next session.
Medical Professionals Working Group - Contact Donald Gardner, donald@gardnerproject.com. This new working group will work on building support among medical professionals, in particular in organizations.
And here is our latest flyer. Check it out!

Mar. 8 - Protest that the legislature needs to act now to implement the CLCPA and invest $15 billion in climate, 10:00am, Albany RSVP
Mar. 10 - Direct Air Capture and Other False Climate Solutions, 7:00pm The Carbon Dioxide Removal Leadership Act (A 8597/S 8171) is now pending in the NYS Assembly and Senate. This bill would generously subsidize Direct Air Capture (DAC), an extremely costly method of mechanical-chemical carbon capture and storage that is unproven, dangerous, and energy-intensive. Also, DAC would likely require a massive buildout of pipelines to transport CO2. It is an unwise public investment that diverts resources and attention from real solutions. RSVP LETTER
