Background: New York State is home to some of the wealthiest individuals, corporations and industries in the world. 112 billionaires reside here. Collectively, they have the wealth of over 3 times New York State’s budget!
We are in one of the wealthiest states in the country, so how is it that there are still well over 92,000 homeless New Yorkers on any given day? In Albany, we have some of the worst instances of climate injustice with places like Ezra Prentice and Sheridan Hollow suffering the disastrous impacts. Our public school systems are still waiting on a $4 billion dollar debt!
We have the money to meet the needs of New Yorkers – it’s just in the wrong pockets.
Polls have shown that the vast majority of New Yorkers support these policies to tackle our state’s most critical issues. We invite you to attend a town hall at which we will discuss ways to use progressive tax policies to pay for the urgent needs of everyday New Yorkers.
There is a solution and a better way forward!
Are you ready to fight for it?
