NY we need your support! The Maternal Health, Dignity, and Consent Act could make its way to the floor for a vote. It's time to act!
Please call Speaker Heastie, Senate Majority Leader @SenatorASC, and your Assemblymember to urge them to vote on this bill.

SNAP is our nation's most effective anti-hunger program, helping nearly 3M NYers afford food each month.
But federal cuts are jeopardizing access to SNAP and NOEP, NY's community-based SNAP navigator network that helps families understand eligibility, apply, and keep benefits.

Thank you @SenatorBrouk. Carving mental health & substance use disorder services out of Medicaid managed care will help NY families & children access critical care with fewer delays & red tape! #fundcarenotredtape
NYers seeking mental health & addiction treatment deserve care without delays or barriers. That’s why I’m proud to sponsor S8309A, moving most behavioral health services to a fee-for-service model that puts patients before insurance company profits.

📢Take action today! Governor Hochul & state legislators are still negotiating the final FY 2027 budget. Tell them to include key updates to the NYS education funding formula, including adding a weight for students in temporary housing or foster care. actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

NY can reinvest $400M into mental health services if we carve behavioral health out of Medicaid managed care. It’s time to cut red tape & invest directly in care for New Yorkers: bit.ly/YMHNY27 #FundCareNotRedTape @GovKathyHochul @NYSenatorRivera @AmyPaulin @NYSCOUNCIL

No child in the foster system should have to switch schools or miss school because NYC has failed to provide a way to get them there. We urge @NYCMayor to invest $3M to provide interim transportation for students waiting for @NYCSchools bus service.

Congress should be strengthening SNAP, not advancing a Farm Bill that leaves devastating cuts in place. Millions of people could lose benefits while states take on new administrative costs. Tell your Members to reject this bill: secure.everyaction.com/4-QDu…
