Stay tuned.

The Trump Admin last week announced a halt to construction on all U.S. offshore wind projects, including NY’s Empire Wind & Sunrise Wind, which are planned to generate a combined 1,734 megawatts, enough to power one million homes when completed.

Over 97% of NYC private-sector nurses voted to authorize a strike, not because they want to, but because hospitals won’t commit to safe staffing.
Stand with NYC nurses fighting for fair contracts and safe patient care for every New Yorker.

Safe patient care is not optional. Hospital execs have a responsibility to bargain in good faith to reach an agreement that puts patients first and provides safe working conditions for the nurses who care for our communities.

The Labor Movement stands with NYC private sector @nynurses.bsky.social who voted 97% Yes to authorize a strike. Nurses don’t want to strike but are willing to do whatever it takes for safe staffing, workplace safety, and the healthcare they deserve. 💪 #SafeStaffingSavesLives

Families are already being crushed by rising costs. They shouldn’t have their health insurance premiums more than double now, too.

Congress going home before fixing the health care crisis is unacceptable. It’s time to put working people first. https://nbcnews.to/4auOI1Q
