TikTok Working Group - our newest! Contact Abby Gavin, Abby@nypan.org, to jump in and create brilliant TikToks that will help move the bar on passing the Health Act - particularly with younger people - our future!
People2People Working Group - Contact Erl Kimmich, erlendkimmich@gmail.com or 646-596-0228. People2People is focused on outreach from person to person, because we will need people power to pressure leaders to improve the mess that is our current health care system.
Research Working Group - Contact Ting Barrow, tingb@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.

The beginning of July was the hottest week on record for the planet as a whole. The climate crisis is here – and while our communities have to face record-breaking heat and unbreathable air, the people responsible for killing the planet are living it up in the Hamptons. That’s why we’re bringing the fight to them for 4 days of direct actions in the Hamptons, and we need your help. Can you chip in to help us transport and feed climate and housing activists to take on the 1%?

Fight for Public School Kids. Tell Your Member of Congress "Don't Slash the Education Budget."
New York elections are at a dangerous crossroads. New voting machines, called "all-in-one" and "universal-use", are attempting to flood the state. These systems do not allow you to vote with a pen and paper. We want to have the option to vote with a pen & paper, the way we have for years. It lowers costs, keeps wait times down, and is preferred by security & auditing experts. Please EMAIL THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS - even if you don’t live in NYS. (Note link takes a few seconds to open).
