Senate Republicans plan to pass their billionaire-

Senate Republicans plan to pass their billionaire-first tax proposal this week over the objections of their constituents. Remember, the majority of Americans oppose giving massive tax breaks to the ultra-rich.

NASW NYS/NYC supports the series of demonstrations

NASW NYS/NYC supports the series of demonstrations on April 5th to Take Action with HANDS OFF!

🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of billionaires. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

Protect New York's children! Pass the Right to Rem

Protect New York's children! Pass the Right to Remain Silent Bill.

Right to Remain Silent has just made a major step towards becoming law, help us keep the momentum! Reach out to your local representatives and ask them to cosponsor this vital legislation.

S.878-A (Bailey) / A.2620-A (Hevesi) would provide the protection our children need. When police determine that interrogation of a child is necessary, this bill would require that the child first consult with counsel before any questioning can take place. Consultation with a lawyer would be a non-waivable requirement that would exclude any statement taken in violation of the rule from being entered into evidence against the child.
