This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.
When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.
