This policy if passed would remove the weekly cap, guarantee health insurance and returning to a job. Entire participation of current program comes from our paychecks and this would mean employers would cover 60% of cost.

Childhood poverty in NY is ranked worst 41st in the country. Pilot program that would give low income mothers direct cash payments to level the playing field for last 3 months of pregnancy is 1K and the first year of kids life - and the next 6 months the child's life ($500) = 21 months of payments

This bill gives people who reenter $425 for 6 months cash payment starting with $425 upon release at the gate vs. the current $40 received to address their immediate needs upon release.

But corporate-backed politicians & their ultra-wealthy donors work hard to prop up outdated tax laws that make the rich even richer and decimate public services working-class people rely on. Despite having the country's highest concentration of wealth, the ever-growing affordability crisis driving working-class New Yorkers out of the state. It doesn’t have to be this way. The Invest in Our New York campaign is demanding a budget that taxes the ultra-rich by:


  1. Making our Income Taxes More Progressive

  2. Raising Corporate Taxes on The Most Profitable Corporations in NY

  3. Implementing a Capital Gains Tax

  4. Taxing Billionaires' Wealth Items

  5. Creating an Heirs Tax
