It's time to write letters! The letters are being sent to New York voters represented by state legislators who should be contacted to support the #InvestInOurNewYork bills.

We have a super-packed, exciting agenda for our meeting on Sunday. Please join us on Zoom. Here are some of our key agenda items:

NY22 election update

Invest in Our New York mini teach-in (with ways to get involved)

Overviews of three local social justice programs IMV supports

Updates on the 2021 elections

Race, equity and inclusion: Black History Month

This week we’re calling on Governor Cuomo to invest in education, as part of our #InvestinOurNY campaign. Decades of disinvestment even before COVID-19 wreaked havoc on our K-12 and higher education. Ending tax breaks for the wealthy and investing in education means thousands of jobs, care for our children, affordable universities and economic mobility for working class New Yorkers and communities of color.

Did it seem that the long national nightmare would never end?  It did!  Thanks to all of you, who pushed and pulled, called and marched, showed up and hung in.  What a beautiful inauguration!  IMVers joined together for an inauguration watch party on Zoom, and toasted each other from six feet away in their yards.  We sang and danced, heard poetry and music, watched a woman take the oath as Vice President, and cried, and cried some more.
