If you've tested positive for covid and don't have a medical provider (or can't get through to them), you can call NYC's covid hotline, staffed by clinicians, to be connected to care in @NYCHealthSystem. Regardless of insurance or immigration status.

Because of you, we defeated Trumpcare three times. It is absolutely critical to do the same for the harmful Republican tax plan. Please, take the time to contact your elected officials this week on this issue. Be heard.

Evidently the GOP believe the single most important issue facing our nation is to let employers deny women access to birth control coverage.
