This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Trump and Republicans slashed over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and cut healthcare tax credits that lower costs for millions of working families — all while delivering billions in tax breaks to insurance CEOs and Big Pharma. Join the fight to protect healthcare: economicsecurity.us/wp-content/u...

The American people appreciate that Democrats are fighting to protect healthcare for millions — we cannot afford another surrender to Trump. Thank your Democratic senator(s) for fighting hard to keep healthcare costs down and urge them to keep holding the line: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

NY lawmakers passed several important bills this year. They will strengthen abortion and gender-affirming care, resist book bans, keep families together, protect checks & balances, and allow New Yorkers to die with dignity.

But right now, they're gathering dust on the Gov's desk. Ask her to sign 👇
Tell Governor Hochul to sign these bills
Please take action!

The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be. #NoKings

David Roberts talks with Doreen Harris of NYSERDA in this episode of Volts. They focus on NY State not meeting CLCPA goals and on the affordability of meeting those goals.

There's not much on the need to transition off fossil fuels as quickly as possible to avert critical climate tipping points.

Thousands of patriots turned out in #Albany, NY to proclaim #NoKings. Contrary to what Republicans say, it was peaceful and nonviolent. We love our country, the Constitution, and our neighbors, even if they don't look just like us. @progress-schdy.bsky.social @indivisible.org

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Plz tell your constituents here in Schenectady that you are not supporting this crypto bill!
