Speak out against Hochul’s MASK BAN
Pass Ro Khanna’s State-Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA - remember the acronym!)
Phone and text-bank with National Nurses United, ongoing, zoom RSVP
It’s been one year since the federal Covid-19 public emergency ended and a massive ‘Medicaid unwinding’ began. During the height of the pandemic, states were barred by Congress from disenrolling Medicaid recipients from their rolls, but that came to an end last year. As a result, more than 20 million people lost their Medicaid coverage in the last year. About 1 in 5 people with Medicaid have been disenrolled, and nearly 1 out of 4 adults who were disenrolled are still uninsured today. Add your name to build pressure for Medicare for All!
Ro Khanna’s State-Based Universal Health Care Act would eliminate the “ERISA Problem” along with a number of other federal regulatory hurdles states might face in passing single payer systems. We should be pushing our New York delegation to sign on. Rep. Jamaal Bowman already has!

Mayor Adams is padding the pockets of his real estate donors, while working New Yorkers are struggling just to stay in their homes. Add your name if you agree that it’s time for a mayor who will prioritize the needs of working New Yorkers, not the profits of real estate billionaires.

Soon, Congress will vote to send even more funding to Israel’s military, which has engaged in an extreme campaign of bombing hospitals, homes, and schools, cutting off food, water, and electricity, killing more than 28 thousand people — nearly half of whom are children. We must fight back and demand an immediate Ceasefire and an end to US funding for Israel. No money for massacres! Ceasefire now!
Call on Congress: Skip Israeli PM Netanyahu’s congressional address!

We have to make sure Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase can’t get away with hiding their funding of the Heritage Foundation and their support for Trump’s Project 2025. Demand Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase pledge no future funding of the Heritage Foundation and publicly denounce Trump’s Project 2025 now.
MAGA’s plan to install Christian Nationalism as the law of the land, dubbed Project 2025, is the terrifying end game we are fighting desperately to prevent in this election. Politico’s Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla wrote a great piece documenting how Trump plans to “infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration” if he’s elected president again. Here’s how you can help.
Tell Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase to reject Project 2025 and cut ties with the Heritage Foundation now. The moral integrity of their brands and the trust of their customers depend on it.
The New York Equal Rights Amendment (NY ERA) will enshrine abortion rights and equality into our state constitution – and that's exactly why the opposition is trying to stop it. TAKE ACTION: Sign up to help pass the New York Equal Rights Amendment.
