We must end child poverty in New York State, because we can.

New York must keep its commitment to cut child poverty in half - especially now! As the Trump admin prepares to cut taxes on the wealthy and cut safety net programs, New York can take the opposite path to invest in our families. We need NY to protect the most vulnerable New Yorkers and rein in the flow of wealth from the bottom to the top. Add your name: buff.ly/40UbdIm

JOIN US TONIGHT! The results of the election mean tackling the crises of inequality and poverty in New York is more important than ever.

New York continues to have the worst income inequality and some of the highest child poverty rates in the nation. The proposed policies of the incoming Trump administration would make things even worse, with devastating cuts to safety net programs and tax cuts for billionaires. We need our state government to step up in this moment to protect the most vulnerable New Yorkers and rein in the flow of wealth from the bottom to the top.

Gov. Hochul and the legislature have an opportunity to do just that in the coming year by passing a transformative package of policies that would slash child poverty and pay for it by fairly taxing the richest corporations and individuals. Join us at 7 pm to learn more and take action! bit.ly/NOV14Rally

"Nurses play a critical role in hospitals. Having adequate numbers of nurses on staff reduces the incidence of dangerous, potentially deadly complications and errors. Ensuring sufficient staffing, then, is an urgent public policy priority. So is letting the public know if that goal is being met."

"If the hospital should be partnering with anyone, it’s the nurses – who by law are supposed to be an integral part of formulating staffing plans and making sure that they’re adhered to."

We couldn't agree more—frontline nurses must be involved in the process of creating and enforcing safe staffing ratios at Albany Med! It's past time for the Albany Med Health System administration to take the concerns of nurses into account, release the DOH staffing report, and settle on a fair contract for nurses that addresses the staffing crisis and invests in safe, quality patient care for our community!
