Farmers, unions & food leaders across NY urge Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Good Food NY Bill (S7638B/A8091B). This bill would let NY farms sell more to local public institutions by updating outdated procurement laws that hurt NY farms, jobs & communities. ow.ly/xus250Z8SIL

NY's paid medical leave program is woefully outdated. "The result is a system that forces people into impossible choices and financial crises," write @inimai.bsky.social @abetterbalance.org and @garrar26.bsky.social @citizenactionny.org in a new op ed: ow.ly/if0q50Z2qNu
ow.ly
Commentary: Could you live on $170 a week? That's all paid medical leave offers.
New York’s paid medical leave program is stuck in 1989. Pass legislation to increase the benefit and help sick and injured workers avoid financial crises while they recover.
