Today SNaHP Einstein medical student leaders met with Assembly Member John Zaccaro Jr. to discuss the benefits of the NY Health Act for patients, healthcare workers and union members!

We look forward to collaborating on informing New Yorkers in the Bronx & beyond about this lifesaving legislation.

The first reports of what would eventually be called AIDS and its causative agent identified as HIV were published in the MMWR in 1981 alerting health care and public health systems across the country. A tremendous loss for public health.

#HandsOffNYC

Screenshot of AMNY article "Hands Off NYC" Coalition forms to resist potential Trump crackdown on city" with photo of press conference

red background with black text reading Hands Off NYC with image of the Statue of Liberty

statement: hands off NYC American cities are under attack by the Trump administration. Instead of investing in schools, hospitals, and public services, taxpayer dollars are being spent to send National Guard troops and ICE agents into our communities — ripping families apart and targeting working people. New York City has been directly threatened. We are a coalition of unions, faith leaders, and community groups, standing together in nonviolent resistance. Just as people in cities across the country have stood up to these attacks, we will too. The Trump administration claims this is about “crime,” but the crime rates in each of the targeted cities have been going down, not up. What they do share is strong, multi-racial, union power — and city leadership that refuses to bow down. This is not about safety. It’s about punishing communities that fight back. We stand in solidarity with all cities that have already faced military intervention. We believe tax dollars should strengthen schools, hospitals, and safe neighborhoods — not build detention centers and tear families apart. Occupying our cities is not “law and order,” it’s an assault on our rights and values, including our First Amendment rights to the press, to free speech, and to peaceably assemble. We pledge to organize together, build local power, and stand in solidarity with every city facing military intervention. Our cities and our people are our greatest strength.

No one should have to bargain for care & it shouldn’t be taken away if you lose or change your job, or strike.
