Join the Invest in Our New York Campaign on Friday, March 10th at 10AM at Madison Square Garden (8th Ave and 31st St) to demand the state legislature reject Governor Hochul's billionaire budget & instead invests in working-class communities. Hochul's billionaire budget shortchanges our communities through:

• A minimum wage proposal that means the lowest-wage workers in our state will continue to get crushed under rising costs;
• A proposal on housing ignores the hundreds of thousands of homeless New Yorkers who need to be housed right now, and those at risk of becoming homeless. It ignores tenants and puts real-estate interests first;
• A proposal on child care that continues to exclude undocumented children and leaves child care educators in poverty;
• A proposal to raise the cap on charter schools taking critical public dollars from our public education system;
• A failure to address programs of critical need, like the Unemployment Bridge Program or ensuring everyone in our state has access to health care coverage; and
• Proposals to raise revenue through a regressive payroll tax, which will fall on workers, and through increasing taxes on tobacco, increased tuition for public higher education, and fair hikes on the MTA. All of these costs will fall on working-class people who are already bearing the brunt of inflation.

Governor Hochul's billionaire budget puts first the interest of her big-money donors like James Dolan, who maxed out his donations to the Governor, and benefits from a $42 million dollar annual property tax break for Madison Square Garden - depriving the local community from much needed public resources. The Governor has also enjoyed maxed out donations from real estate executive Steven Roth, billionaire investor Dan Loeb (a vocal Charter school proponent), and other billionaire donors with special interests. It's time to let the Governor know "NO TO YOUR BILLIONAIRE BUDGET, INVEST IN NEW YORKERS INSTEAD."

About this event

Kathy Hochul is being honored as an "exemplary woman leader" by the Metropolitan Museum. We'll be there to demand that she earn that honor! We'll demand that she show real leadership by fixing the NYS Democratic Party.

Kathy Hochul is the leader of the NYS Democratic Party; Jay Jacobs is the Chair. Thanks to them, through some combination of neglect, incompetence, or self-interest, the NYS Dems utterly failed the people of New York. The results of the November 2022 midterm election have shamed our state on the national stage and quite literally threatened our democracy.

In November the NYS Dems lost 5 very winnable House races, handing control of the House of Representatives to the Party of Insurrection. They gave Kevin McCarthy the Speaker's gavel and allowed Marjorie Taylor Greene back on committees. They enabled a Red Wave in a Blue state and turned that Blue state purple. They worked harder to defeat Progressive Democrats than to defeat Republican opponents.

Only the governor can fix the mess that the NYS Party has become. Only she has the power to replace Jay Jacobs and transform the NYS Dems into a real political party that answers to its members and not to its donors. She must do it, and she must do it in time for 2024!
