Leaving excluded workers out of the budget is a huge missed opportunity. The Unemployment Bridge Program would give 750k+ New Yorkers a lifeline when they lose work. It’s good for excluded workers and our state as a whole. Our statement on the one-house budget resolutions:

One group of New Yorkers left out of today’s speech? The state’s excluded workers, the 750,000 and growing freelancers, domestic workers, street vendors, day laborers, farm workers, and recently decarcerated workers who are shut out of our state’s safety net.
We're introducing a $233 billion budget — an increase of 4.5% year over year — without raising income taxes. This proves that fiscal discipline can co-exist with progressive, people-driven policies that are laser focused on everyday New Yorkers.

A 🧵 on labor and bail reform: UAW Region 9A opposes Governor Hochul’s proposed changes to the landmark 2019 Bail Reforms. As part of the labor movement, we stand against a system which benefits the wealthy, while average working-class people languish in jail, awaiting trial.

🗣️ @GovKathyHochul, hear our message loud and clear: Without the Unemployment Bridge Program, our people are back to breadlines and empty plates! #ExcludedNoMore
The hallway to the Governor’s Office is closed off to the public today. But advocates have found a creative way to still get their message across.
