This #ThanksTaking, we're thanking YOU, our members. The last 10 months have tested us. But they have reminded us that when we stand together, we're capable of more than we realize. Together, we will overcome. Not because it’s easy, but because solidarity, care, & collective power carry us forward.

“Elise Stefanik’s H.R. 5214 is not only an attack on the rights of residents of Washington D.C. to determine local laws - it is also a part of Stefanik’s continued enabling of the Trump administration’s authoritarian takeover of American cities."

New Yorkers with chronic disease need affordable access to treatments! Bill 1804A/A128A would require insurers to provide NYers with access to both a rescue & maintenance inhaler at no cost is sitting on the Governor’s desk, awaiting her signature. Urge Governor Hochul to sign: bit.ly/InhalerBill

“'She did not just approve a fossil fuel project. She made a moral choice,' Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado (D), who is primarying Hochul, said on Monday. 'New Yorkers deserve a governor who does not treat the climate crisis as a PR problem, but as a test of moral leadership.'”

"While we are glad that those who need it the most will resume receiving SNAP benefits and vital income, Citizen Action of New York will remember this moment, who was responsible for it, and hold them accountable at the ballot box in the November 2026 elections."

To get NYS to tax the rich, Zohran and we, the many, have the same objective but two distinct tasks: Zohran's task is to play nice with the governor right up until the moment that becomes a dead-end. Our task, as @nychange.bsky.social shows by example, is to push Hochul relentlessly, starting now.

"...we must ask why Governor Hochul has aligned with the fossil fuel industry to inject more climate disrupting fracked-gas methane into the atmosphere...Hochul is literally stealing from our children's future..." @thirdactnyc.bsky.social @citizenactionny.org @nychange.bsky.social

This is a betrayal of New Yorkers, a moral failure, and a dirty deal with Trump. That’s not leadership — that’s surrender.

🚨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

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

We’re already making history. Now let’s break a record. This Sunday, we’re going to knock on the most doors in a single day in New York history. But only if you sign up: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

I called Governor Hochul's office and said: "I urge the governor to fund the full $650 million needed to ensure that all 3 million New Yorkers who rely on SNAP will be able to eat—and to put this money onto their EBT cards so that they can access it directly. You can call her too: ☎️ (518) 474-8390

We gathered at the steps of New York City Hall to demand that Gov. Hochul fund SNAP benefits for the 3 million New Yorkers who rely on them. “We urge her to use State funds to pay for all or some of November SNAP benefits, just as multiple other states have already done.”

Vote today, get a VERY COOL sticker!!! cit.ac/vote for more info!

Climate leaders don’t ignore state climate law. Maybe Governor Hochul should show her leadership by implementing the state’s Climate Law, lowering our bills, and making big corporate polluters pay instead.

New release from @hungerfreeamerica.bsky.social, @citizenactionny.org + @vocal-ny.bsky.social urges Hochul to do more and says other states have committed to funding SNAP benefits "While we appreciate the Governor's support for more charitable food, that only addresses a tiny portion of the need"

Friday's decision was a HUGE win for the climate movement, Citizen Action of NY, and our allies. "We are glad to see Judge Schreibman decisively reject Governor Hochul and DEC’s excuses for delay and their ongoing attempts to derail climate action."

Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Over the weekend our members showed up and joined thousands of New Yorkers to say #NoKings now or ever. Now let’s keep up the pressure on this fight against fascism and authoritarianism.

At every level of government, New Yorkers deserve better than corrupt politicians who think they’re above the law. Both Trump & Cuomo gotta go. Cuomo and his team can keep courting the right wing - they lost in June and they’ll lose again in November.

NO KINGS IN NEW YORK. NO KINGS IN AMERICA. #nokings

Holy - and I don’t say this lightly - guacamole.

“Getting coverage was a huge relief — it meant stability for our family during a tough time.” We need a fair budget that restores Medicaid and Medicare funding and extends ACA tax credits now. Join us in telling Congress at cit.ac/fair-budget #ProtectOurCare

You're hearing it more and more.

Zohran is also the @nywfp.bsky.social candidate. He's the Democratic nominee, sure, and he's fighting for a thriving, more affordable New York City for Working Families. Vote Working Families Party 💪

✅ freeze the rent ✅ 200k new affordable homes ✅ make it easier to build

The safest communities are the most resourced. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social knows we need to get to the heart of the systemic issues to solve them.

must-read on the taxpayer-funded legal battle against the women who accused Cuomo, from @rosalindadams.bsky.social + @thecity.nyc:

(He’s right.) (Let’s do it again.)

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t even name Donald Trump when Tish James was baselessly targeted by his Justice Department. If you can’t name a problem like Donald Trump, how can you be expected to tackle it?

We don’t need leadership whose experience is collaborating with Republicans in the IDC to stop progressive democratic policy in New York.

It’s not just who’s on the ballot, but what’s on the ballot. The broken politics of the past or a future we can afford. It’s debate time. Let’s go.

Jamell, Antonia, and our co-director @cmartinezclass.bsky.social were so proud to rep Citizen Action to support Zohran and Tish at this amazing rally last weekend!

Tonight at 7! Tune in to watch @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in the first NYC mayoral general election debate. You can watch at cit.ac/debate-tonight.

Ryan is just one of hundreds of thousands of of New Yorkers who rely on ACA tax credits. Governor Hochul and lawmakers in Albany must protect New Yorkers by making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share so that our communities can thrive.

The GOP is prioritizing tax breaks for billionaires, while New Yorkers are facing more price hikes or losing their healthcare. We need a fair budget now! Join us and tell Congress at cit.ac/FAIR-BUDGET
