Under Biden-Harris, the FTC has sued corporations that abuse their market power. Blocked mergers that would drive up prices. Challenged phony patents from drug manufacturers that keep Rx costs high. Banned noncompete agreements that trap workers in jobs. Now? It's making it easier to cancel subscriptions or services that you no longer want. This is government working on behalf of the people — and you love to see it.

Make sure to vote yes on Prop 1 this election day!

Prop 1 clears up some wording on discrimination, closing potential loopholes. It will also help in protecting abortion rights!

"This proposal amends Article 1, Section 11 of the New York Constitution. Section 11 protects against unequal treatment based on race, color, creed, and religion. The proposal will amend the act to also protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, s*x, s*xual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy. The amendment allows laws to prevent or undo past discrimination."

Coming soon...be on the lookout for postcard writing and phone banking opportunities.

Our rights are on the ballot this November. This is what we will be voting on. Believe it or not, these are not enshrined in the New York State Constitution. Come stand together for our rights!

Equal Rights Amendment Proposition 1:

"No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed [or], religion, or s*x, including s*xual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state, pursuant to law."

Having trouble keeping up with all the ways you can get involved? Still have questions about it? Here's a flyer that puts it all in one place. It's possible we'll still be adding events in the coming days and weeks. So stay tuned!

There will be phone banking at headquarters this Wednesday 7 - 8:30pm.

Notice there are events almost every day this week until Sunday.
