A coalition of nonprofits this week (including CCA) joined a growing chorus of concern over what advocates consider “dangerous and deteriorating” conditions at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/n…

Over 300 human services workers showed up in Albany today to demand #JustPay — and CCA stood with them. Our Executive Director David and Director of Training & Staff Development Randi joined workers calling for living wages across New York State. With inflation at 2.7% and the cost of living still high, state contracts must keep pace. New York must fund a 2.7% investment in all human services contracts and pass Wage Board legislation to move toward real wage equity. We demand #JustPay. Add your voice: bit.ly/JustPay-Backup…

Leadership Fellow Patrick Stephens represented CCA as a panelist at a recent event, sponsored by Assemblywoman Latrice Walker, focused on strengthening support for Raise the Age legislation. Patrick joined the conversation to speak on why keeping young people out of the adult criminal legal system creates safer communities. He continues to fight for the future of young people and we are grateful for his leadership.

“I don’t give a fuck about Democrats or Republicans being on the list…THEY’RE ABUSING CHILDREN.” This guy gets it. This is about the children who were abused & raped. Our entire government failed these children because it chose [and is still choosing] to protect their abusers.

Shoutout to the Black men who put this clown in his place!

Nearly half of SNAP households are white. But white supremacists want you to think it’s single black women and illegal immigrants.

The Fortune Society proudly applauds the NYC Council for the landmark passage of the Just Home initiative — a first-of-its-kind permanent supportive and affordable housing project to be built on the NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi campus in the Bronx. This pivotal decision follows years of tireless advocacy and marks a major step forward in providing safe, stable, and dignified homes for New Yorkers leaving incarceration with complex medical needs — people who are too often left behind.

Want to understand people’s righteous frustration w/ Charlie Kirk’s brand, TPUSA, & the people painting Kirk as a “free speech savior” rather than a race baiter who spent the majority of his time targeting black ppl & even celebrating their deaths? Watch every second of this video.
