John, 

With less than two weeks until New York State’s budget is finalized, we’re mobilizing to Albany one final time to demand our leaders prioritize immigrant New Yorkers. 

Our budget is a moral document—it reveals the priorities and values of our government. While we’ve secured Coverage4All in both one-house budgets, our fight isn’t over. Health coverage for undocumented immigrants, legal service funding, and the fund for excluded workers is on the line—we must ensure immigrant communities are protected and provided for in New York’s budget. 

This is our last chance to voice our budget priorities to our leaders, and we need to demonstrate our collective power. Sign up for a seat on the bus to Albany this Tuesday, March 29th!

Even if you can’t join us on the bus to Albany, you can still advocate for our budget priorities by contacting Gov. Hochul today! Now that the NYS Legislature has included Coverage4All and legal service funding in the one-house budgets, it’s up to Gov. Hochul to deliver for our communities!
