We are an Ulster County-based group organizing locally since 2016 in NY18 and NY19 and using the NEW Indivisible Guide.
Whaaaatttt? States require updates as often as every 6 months.
How quickly will SNAP benefits go at an average of $188/month/individual or an average of $356/month/household (generally includes children) - most working.
Congressional food “benefit” :
$79/day. ???

What’s happening with the military build up in Latin America?
Why are these illegal attacks on Venezuelan boats dangerous?
What’s the possible motivation?
What should progressives and concerned Americans be doing?
Here’s one view worth considering.
"Our government is embarking on a totally unprovoked military assault and regime change operations in Latin America."

In these roller coaster times, it’s important to find hope and inspiration. It’s a marathon not a sprint so keep believing and taking action together to save our democracy and support one another.

CR has now been signed in the White House. Watch for additional dangerous distractions but there also may be a few more Republicans spines. Despite recent set backs and cruel tactics, resistance matters.
Stand up, speak out, fight back.

Grift for Republican Senators. Tell your Representative to fight back!

Cuts for health care, food & services but funds for individual Senators, ICE, illegal incarcerations, occupations, bombings, foreign bailouts, a ballroom, an airplane, a marble bathroom … why?

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

No health care in the so-called deal though furloughed and laid off federal workers and salaries are restored. A vote on subsidies is promised for January. 8 “safe” Senate Dems made up the 60 votes to move forward.

Let your members of Congress know what you support:
Deal or Not This Deal.

According to Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger, the first New Yorkers who depend on #SNAP received their benefit this morning with all EBT cards replenished in less than a week.
I've just directed state agencies to fully fund federal SNAP benefits for November.

President Trump's actions have been senseless and un-American. I'll never stop fighting for New York's families.

Individual acts of courage and of kindness matter in these dire times for so many. Thank you for whatever you can do as well.

Congratulations “We , the People”! Keep speaking out, standing up and fighting back. It’s a marathon not a sprint - there’s still long way to go.
But celebrate this week’s nation-wide electoral successes and keep working to save our democracy, to support each other and to protect our future. Bravo!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

In addition to law-abiding friends and neighbors, there is clear evidence that US citizens are also being cruelly and unlawfully treated. Know your rights, speak up, support each other and those who call out the lies.
Donald Trump said ICE raids haven't gone far enough.

Kristi Noem said no citizens have been detained in these raids.

But we know the truth. Because we have story after heartbreaking story that proves otherwise.

Listen to these brave Americans in their own words.
November 4, 2025 at 6:38 AM
It’s illegal and cruel that our law-abiding friends and neighbors have been detained, disappeared and unlawfully deported. As the saying goes, they are coming for all of us. Know your rights (ACLU has virtual trainings) and consider this clear and simple guidance below. Stay safe.
🚨 PSA ❕️

If ICE Detains a US Citizen ...

Do This , Say This ......

Though good news judicially, there will still be a gap for needy families as the administration stalls, may appeal and provides “partial payments” if funds flow. This article and links explain.
Please support your local food bank asap. Help needed now. Thanks.

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.

Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.
