Universal child care means we must care for children ages birth through 12, includes all modalities of care, AND pays the workforce a thriving wage. @GovKathyHochul @NYSA_Majority @AndreaSCousins, affordability starts with child care for all!

The Youth Justice Innovation Fund would put $50M where it's needed most - directly into community-based programs and services for young New Yorkers proven to reduce rearrests. 🦋 Join us in Albany on March 25 to advocate for the Fund: bit.ly/YouthJusticeMa…

The rising cost of food continues to strain family finances. This is why we need NY leaders to prioritize food security investments in the state budget! Stand with us to urge them to fund critical food security programs: bit.ly/FSINY27

It’s Time to Put Mental Health Care over Insurance Industry Profits. Our proposal improves access to behavioral health care for New Yorkers, allows providers to focus on delivering that care, and saves the state $400M/year. My OpEd w/@SenatorBrouk: empirereportnewyork.com/its-time-to-pu…

We’re celebrating the first year of statewide free school meals in NY this #NSBW26! In NY 1 in 5 children are food insecure. School breakfast is a powerful tool to fight child poverty & hunger, while benefiting health & educational outcomes. #Meals4AllNY

Nearly 1 in 5 NY children struggle with hunger. Investments in SNAP, NOEP, WIC, Nourish NY, HPNAP, and more secure EBT cards will help ensure New York families can access the food they need & reduce child poverty. Take a stand with us: bit.ly/FSINY27

#DYK over half of NYS households enrolled in SNAP are households w/ children? This year states will be responsible for a larger share of the admin costs for SNAP, putting families at risk for hunger. Congress must repeal these harmful provisions: secure.everyaction.com/Wf7TjlCO3kue_A…

“We have a moment of opportunity,” said Shoshana Hershkowitz, who manages the Empire State Campaign for Child Care, an advocacy coalition. “People can’t afford to stay here. If you want to keep young families here, you have to address child care.” wxxinews.org/new-york-publi…
