John,

On Wednesday, over 300 of our members and advocates from the #Coverage4All Coalition joined us in Albany for the largest demonstration at the Capitol since the start of the pandemic. Joining us were our bill champions including Assemblymember Richard Gottfried, prime co-sponsor of Coverage4All, and Assemblymembers Taylor Darling, Harvey Epstein, Nathalia Fernandez, Jessica Gonzales-Rojas, Marcela Mitaynes, Zohran Mamdani, Manny De Los Santos, and Yuh-Line Niou. We rallied to demand Governor Hochul and the New York Legislative Leaders to include Coverage4All in the NYS budget, which would expand lifesaving health coverage to 46,000 undocumented immigrant New Yorkers.

On the steps of the Capitol, we held a press conference to uplift the stories of community members and our legislative champions. Watch our Facebook livestream ([link removed]) to hear from them!

In recent weeks, we were able to get Coverage For All passed through the NYS Assembly and Senate Health committees. While Wednesday’s rally was clear progress towards victory, our fight is far from over. We need you to demand lawmakers in Albany provide necessary and equitable health coverage for New York—your voice is critical to our movement!

We marched and rallied around the Capitol ([link removed]) , demonstrating the collective power of our immigrant communities. With over 300 hundred people in our ranks, it’s clear our voices could be heard in New York’s halls of power!

In remembrance of the thousands of lives lost to COVID-19 and a lack of health coverage, we staged a die-in to draw attention to the ongoing health crisis facing immigrant New Yorkers. Watch this powerful demonstration ([link removed]) revealing the devastating impacts of this pandemic on our immigrant communities.

Our mobilization to Albany underscored the overwhelming support for #Coverage4All. It’s time for our leaders to deliver healthcare justice three years into this pandemic by funding equitable health coverage in this year’s budget. Immigrant New Yorkers can’t wait any longer for this basic care—the time to act is now.


Onward,
