📣Hey, Albany: Listen to New Yorkers!   Our healthcare is skyrocketing, we can barely put food on the table, and childcare is out of reach... all because D.C. cut taxes for the wealthy again.   78% of us say #TaxTheRich. Are you with us, or with the super-rich?

"Smaller raids in those pockets by [ICE] have served as dry runs for what many undocumented immigrants anticipate could grow into bigger roundups." The threat of troops in NYC has united New Yorkers against these cruel encroachments on our immigrant communities. Join us: HandsOffNYC.com

"26 Federal Plaza isn’t functioning as a courthouse. It’s functioning as an abduction trap... What plays out in these buildings is a cruel game of 'justice roulette,'" writes @nyccomptroller.bsky.social after over a dozen visits to the NYC immigration court. Read about his harrowing experience. ⬇️

“The lack of communication & lack of access to counsel for people in these sites is a way of preventing transparency and accountability,” said Paige Austin, our Supervising Litigation Attorney. ICE's secretive detention rooms allow a "total lack of oversight" on the conditions people are held in.

Dropping our kids off at childcare, getting to work on time by the bus, and still being able to afford rent? Yea, that's the New York we want. #TaxTheRich #InvestInOurNY

‼️New Date! Join Bushwick’s #KnowYourRights & Community Defense Mass Training happening Saturday, November 15th from 1 to 3 PM!   As the federal government escalates their tactics, New Yorkers continue to organize. We will keep us safe!   Location shared closer to date: tinyurl.com/bushwickyr

“A new poll found that New Yorkers are broadly in favor of taxing the rich: 64% of voters polled backing income tax increases on the top 5% of earners & 62% of voters polled supporting a higher corporate tax rate.” NYers agree: taxing the wealthiest in NY is how we can #InvestInOurNY! #TaxTheRich

This isn't a political issue, it's a New Yorker issue. Federal funding cuts will make life harder for ALL of us. So we need ALL of our lawmakers to put us (not the 1%) first. No more partisan games: keep our healthcare whole, protect our communities, #InvestInOurNY.

🚨BREAKING: A new poll shows New Yorkers across the state want the wealthy to pay their fair share to fund universal childcare, housing & public transportation.  State lawmakers must 👟STEP UP👟 and take the federal funding cuts head on! It's time to #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY

"We remain vigilant and, together with our communities and allies, we are building collective power to take care of each other." Following the ICE raids in Queens, we encourage our immigrant communities to know their constitutional rights. For #KnowYourRights resources, visit: WeProtectUsNY.org

"When immigrant New Yorkers are under attack, doing nothing is not an option." Thank you @cmpisanchez.bsky.social for fighting for our street vendors & ensuring they can continue to work with dignity! ✊

"New York City’s restaurant industry — long powered by immigrant labor — is being hit hard by President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown." The escalating federal deportation agenda in the name of preserving "American jobs" has instead forced restaurants to close their doors.
