Thanks to community pressure, we confirmed that Comptroller DiNapoli paused Israel Bonds purchases in the wake of grassroots campaigning: last Summer, we sent hundreds of emails, jammed the phone lines, showed up en masse on Facebook, and then in September over 150 New Yorkers, including public sector workers, showed up in person to send a clear message: New Yorkers say “No!” to Israel Bonds, invest in our communities!

Last August– when$5 million of New York State’s Israel Bonds were set to expire– We asked you to email the public relations representatives for the Comptroller’s office and demand that he not use that money to buy more Israel Bonds. Almost 500 people sent emails!!

After months of trying, BTBNYS has finally confirmed that our emails, phone calls, and letters to the editor worked. NO NEW ISRAEL BONDS WERE PURCHASED IN JULY, AUGUST, OR SEPTEMBER.

The Comptroller can buy new Israel Bonds any day of the year, so we need to keep up the pressure! We need to continue to make clear in 2026 that New Yorkers do not want our state to be profiting off of and funding Israeli military violence against Palestinians at the expense of state workers and retirees.

We will keep pushing for the transparency and accountability that New Yorkers deserve from Comptroller DiNapoli!
Follow to stay informed and learn about ways to plug in!

Thank you to all our coalition partners and endorsers for helping make this happen!

On January 8th, Buffalo Niagara Partnership held their annual party unveiling the advocacy agenda for the year. This event is a who’s-who of local business owners, health insurance CEOs, hospital system leadership, and politicians who work together to maintain the status quo and their profits while your material conditions worsen.

One of their main priorities each year is opposing the New York Health Act, which would provide universal healthcare, a medicare-for-all style system, to all New Yorkers.

Why would BNP oppose legislation that would actually end up saving many of the businesses the represent money? It’s simple: 1) Highmark, Univera and Independent Health CEOs sit on their board, influencing their agenda, and 2) when your employer controls your healthcare you have less freedom leave your job, to organize your work place, or speak up about unfair practices. This exploitative relationship is worth more to them than the money they would save with NYHA.

Everyone is entitled to quality healthcare, and New Yorkers deserve protection from the federal healthcare cuts that are kicking people off their insurance and increasing prices. NYHA is NYs solution to our broken system and BNP and the politicians who work with them deserve to be called out for their betrayal or the working class.

Let’s make 2026 the year we pass NYHA! Join us: buffalodsa.org/healthcare

We’re sharing some of the healthcare stories submitted to us from WNYers who have been failed by our healthcare system and the elites who support and maintain the status quo. We know a better system is possible: a system based on care, not profit. The New York Health Act is how we get there.

Working people and seniors deserve comprehensive healthcare without cost or access barriers. Private insurance companies like Independent Health increase premiums, cut benefits and deny care to maintain their profits. No more bandaid “solutions” - it’s time to switch to a system that prioritizes health over profit. The New York Health Act is the answer.

With ACA subsidies officially ending, we NEED to pass The New York Health Act to protect NYers from our current barbaric and exploitative healthcare system. The Buffalo Niagara Partnership shamefully uses their political power to stand in the way.
