Governor Hochul’s budget makes transformative investments to meet the needs of all New Yorkers. Here are just a few of the highlights:
— Improving public safety by providing judges greater discretion to set bail for serious crimes, and investing in gun violence prevention, prosecutors, defense funding, and State Police academy classes and troopers
— Investing in mental health care by expanding inpatient and outpatient services, boosting insurance coverage, and investing $1 billion to rebuild our mental health care system and make sure no one falls through the cracks
— Strengthening the healthcare system by investing $1 billion in capital funding and expanding Medicaid coverage
— Protecting reproductive health care by investing in abortion providers, expanding access to abortion care for students, and increasing Medicaid reimbursement for abortion care
— Record funding for P-12 schools and higher education, including funding for new capital projects for SUNY and CUNY
— Combating climate change by implementing zero-emission requirements for new buildings and expanding the New York Power Authority's ability to support our state's climate goals
Governor Kathy Hochul is making good on her promise to make New York a stronger, more prosperous, inclusive, and welcoming state.

So Team, if you can, please chip in a donation — even if it’s $1, $5, or $20 — toward our April fundraising goal so Governor Hochul can continue delivering for New York’s working families:
