In one of the richest states in the richest country, there is no reason why any New Yorker should be living in poverty.

Yesterday, reports emerged that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is prepared to spend over $100 MILLION to oust Working Families Party champions from Congress in 2024.
If these reports are accurate, we’re in completely unprecedented territory. 🧵

HUGE STEP FOR CEASEFIRE: @RepBeccaB just became the first Jewish member of Congress to back the call for a ceasefire.
At least 32 members of Congress are now calling for a ceasefire. The call for humanity is growing stronger — we're showing how loud uniting our voices can be.
Rep. Becca Balint@RepBeccaB
The Israeli siege on Gaza has killed thousands of civilians, thousands of children. Millions are without food, water, fuel and medicine. This is dire. What is needed right now is an immediate break in violence to allow for a true negotiated ceasefire. vtdigger.org/2023/11/16/bec…

Every day, more Palestinians are being killed by Israeli airstrikes and starving under military siege.
It's the U.S.' responsibility to act now to prevent further escalation & protect Israelis and Palestinians.

“Kim projects big hopes for [the next US Senator]. She wants someone who’ll appeal to the 3 out of every 4 voters under 30 who are POC + envisions a senator who will have an outsize national presence like @BernieSanders + @EWarren.” #PorterLeeWFP @CA_WFP

Today, over 700 tenants with ACCE & our allies at @HousingNowCA - many facing eviction, rent increases, or homelessness - lobbied, rallied, & took over the Capitol streets to urge our legislators to pass #SB567. It was a beautiful day! #HousingIsAHumanRight

NEW: @Brandon4Chicago has won his election for mayor of Chicago.
This is a win for the history books. Brandon Johnson just defeated a wave of far-right money and misinformation thanks to people power and his positive vision for a safe and thriving Chicago.

Eight of us were just arrested in a civil disobedience to demand that @GovKathyHochul follow the legislature’s lead and include #Coverage4All in the state budget.
A righteous cause well worth the arrest. We won’t back down. ✊

We’re often the first #LAUSD employees that students see in the early morning when we pick them up and the last ones they see when we drop them off.
WE ARE ESSENTIAL AND DEMAND RESPECT. #LAUSDStrike #UnionsForAll #United4LASchools

This is the first day of a 3-day strike against #LAUSD. Here at a bus yard in #VanNuys, bus drivers march in a picket line in the pouring rain. They want a 30-percent pay raise. @knxnews

Today is International Women’s Day. But where does @PaulVallas stand on women’s issues? Paul Vallas said “fundamentally, I oppose abortion.” We deserve a Mayor who will uphold the right to choose and everyone's bodily autonomy. #BrandonIsBetter

The truth about corporate taxes:
➡️ Corporations doing business in New York pay tax based on their sales in NY — not their location.
➡️ A corporation can move its headquarters into or out of the state without affecting its NYS corporate tax liability.

It’s not the millionaires who are being forced out of New York, it’s working families of color.
