It's outrageous that Republicans in Congress have moved to stop federal funds for heating assistance, literally leaving families in the cold as temperatures drop.

Mayor Adams’ vetoes are yet another rejection of policies that would directly benefit working class New Yorkers.
Instead of supporting bills to promote pay equity, protect tenants, and strengthen accountability, he’s chosen to block progress.

Encouraging news, but it shouldn’t take a ruling from a federal judge to prevent American children and families from going hungry.
A federal judge in Rhode Island has said the Trump administration must fully cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November. https://cnn.it/47KumOX

Tonight’s results are disappointing but not surprising given the Mayor’s misleading ballot language, which deceived voters about what these proposals truly do. The lack of accountability for abuses of mayoral charter revisions exposes a continued threat to our democracy that the State must address.
Mayor Adams’ proposals permanently change the city constitution to weaken democracy and take away communities’ power to secure more affordability and public goods from developers and the City. This will last beyond the next mayor, leaving us without democratic checks and balances.

We need affordability that reaches all New Yorkers, not just some. Mayor Adams' ballot proposals 2, 3, and 4 take away communities’ power to demand equitable public goods and deeply affordable housing, undermining our pursuit of true affordability.
Ballot proposals won’t ‘fast-track’ more housing
In New York City’s election, voters will encounter ballot Proposals 2, 3, and 4 that claim to create and speed up housing development.

This ruling is a major victory for the millions of New Yorkers and working families who rely on SNAP. No one should be denied the right to put food on the table.
