Beginning on Monday, March 27th the Invest in Our NY Campaign will be heading to Albany for a week of action - calling on the Legislature and Governor to reject proposals that shortchange NYers in favor of billionaire donors; and to instead pass a budget that makes meaningful and lasting investments in the programs & services we rely on! The week of action will kick off on Monday, March 27th at the Capitol with a rally. The rest of the week will be focused on centering specific issues, including worker justice on 3/27; Climate on 3/28 (register here); Housing on 3/29 (register here); and public education & pushing back on raising the cap on charter schools on 3/29.

Join the Invest in Our New York Campaign for a week of action ahead of the budget deadline to demand the Governor and Legislature pass a final budget that meets the needs of working-class communities over the Gov's proposed billionaire budget . Gov. Hochul's billionaire budget shortchanges our communities through:

• A proposal to raise the cap on charter schools taking critical public dollars from our public education system;
• A minimum wage proposal that means the lowest-wage workers in our state will continue to get crushed under rising costs;
• A proposal on housing ignores the hundreds of thousands of homeless New Yorkers who need to be housed right now, and those at risk of becoming homeless. It ignores tenants and puts real-estate interests first;
• A proposal on child care that continues to exclude undocumented children and leaves child care educators in poverty;
• A failure to address programs of critical need, like the Unemployment Bridge Program or ensuring everyone in our state has access to health care coverage; and
• Proposals to raise revenue through a regressive payroll tax, which will fall on workers, and through increasing taxes on tobacco, increased tuition for public higher education, and fair hikes on the MTA. All these costs will fall on working-class people already bearing the brunt of inflation.

As the final budget is negotiated in Albany, it's critical that we have a strong presence in the Capitol demanding deep investments in housing; addressing the climate crisis; our public education system (including higher education); our workers & wages; and in the social safety net so many NYers rely on.
