Tell Gov. Hochul to keep New York’s commitment to cut child poverty - and pay for it through fair taxes on the wealthy!
New York State continues to have the worst income inequality and some of the highest child poverty rates in the nation, yet we also have the resources to solve these problems. In 2021, New York State committed to cutting child poverty in half by 2032. This year, Gov. Hochul and the state legislature can make good on that promise by passing a transformative package of policies that would slash child poverty and pay for it by fairly taxing the richest corporations and individuals. A critical first step is getting these policies into Gov. Hochul’s Executive Budget proposal. We urge you to add your name to a petition to the governor calling for these measures.
