A core intention of CNY Solidarity Coalition is to bring together and support organizations already out there helping directly affected communities in the Central New York area. Each week we’ll spotlight one of the over 100 organizations in our Directory; there’s a LOT going on!
Invest In Our New York
Every New Yorker deserves to breathe clean air, live in safe and affordable housing, receive a high-quality public education, access comprehensive healthcare and universal childcare, and live in well-resourced communities on a livable planet. But for decades, corporate aligned elected officials have underinvested in working-class neighborhoods and instead prioritized the desires of greedy corporations and the ultra-rich.
A different New York is possible: one where everyone has what they need to build a foundation on which they can thrive. We just need New York’s ultra-rich to pay what they owe in taxes.
