The 100 foot rule has cost New Yorkers $600M a year, tacking the cost of new gas hookups onto everyone's delivery charges. We got a law passed to end it, and the Governor signed it. Now the Public Service Commission has to follow through, fully and on time 📝 nyforcleanpower.quorum.us/campaign/164...

This Climate Week, we joined @sarahana.bsky.social for the Peoples' Action Utility Strategy Session in NYC. We discussed how we're going to make clean, affordable, renewable energy for all to lower our bills, hold greedy utilities accountable, and combat climate change.
Huge thanks to Assemblymember Shrestha for her continued leadership on this effort, @pplsaction.bsky.social for hosting us, PUSH Buffalo, Columbus Stand Up, and everyone else who joined.
For too long, Medicaid restrictions forced people to have teeth pulled that could have been saved, left others without functional dentures, or pushed them into debt to afford needed care. Tell Governor Hochul to sign the law: cit.ac/medicaid-dental

Our fight is about reining in corruption and making our communities more affordable, and I cannot wait to partner with @citizenactionny.org to do just that.

RFK Jr. & the Trump administration are proposing the elimination of most of Head Start's standards & regulations, spelling disaster for hundreds of thousands of kids and families that need care and services. Call Congress TODAY to #ProtectHeadStart

Mike Lawler continues to vote in favor of billionaires and the MAGA agenda, while ripping healthcare, housing, and food assistance away from the people who need it most. Hudson Valley families deserve better. Learn more and join us for our next "Mike Monday" at cit.ac/Mike-Mondays

Monroe County must fund Housing Vouchers now! Join us and help us hit our goal of 1000 signatures by August at cit.ac/vouchers-now
"Housing is one of the most basic forms of assistance and care because without a stable place to live, it is harder to keep a job or to stay healthy. It is harder to care for your children, it is harder to manage a disability or recover form a crisis," and advocate said.
