Dancers and choreographers this is for you too! 👇
Thank you @MusicWorkers for all your advocacy work on this.
🎶Music to our ears! Proud to announce that music workers & other artists can apply for the NEW $200M FUND to help with pandemic costs and lost revenue in the NYS Budget!
This wasn't a solo performance. Thx @MusicWorkers @olympiakazi @AndreaSCousins @EmpireStateDev and others!

.@GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie, if you are serious about #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis, being socially responsible & fiscally prudent, then you will #PassNYHealth for systemic sustainable change to save lives, create jobs, aid small businesses & save billions $$$$$.

#Coverage4All MUST be included in the budget. A small amount for healthcare for the immigrants put lives on gave their lives to keep us going during the pandemic.
☎️TAKE 5 minutes now to CALL right now Thur April 7th @KathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie

When she ran for Congress, this is how Kathy Hochul talked about immigrant NYers.
Now she’s the main obstacle to ensuring that immigrants access expansions of child care and health care in the budget.
Doesn’t seem like “evolution” to us.
Take Action Today!
It's the final days of budget negotiations!
Take action: p2a.co/LXrQKRe
Tell @GovKathyHochul the final budget deal must include:
👉#Coverage4All
👉#FairPay4HomeCare
👉#ScrapTheCap - lift the Medicaid spending cap

The pandemic is still impacting hugely work & livelihood of 'gig' performing artists. @GovKathyHochul why are you on the fence on whether/how to give relief to @MusicWorkers who are still suffering from gig/tour cancellations & steep income loss?

For non-denialists, the new "normal" involves having resources handy for coping with the next probable predicament. Orgs like @MusicWorkers & Dance Artists' National Collective work to help in-person performers handle the next waves of whatever...

We're counting on @GovKathyHochul & @CarlHeastie to follow the lead of the NYS Senate about this critical issue of pandemic music touring.
T.Y. @AndreaSCousins @SenGianaris @bradhoylman @jessicaramos for adding music workers' access to relief grants in the One-House Budget Bill
Music Workers Alliance is advocating for music workers’ inclusion in a proposed grant program that could provide hundreds of millions in relief funds.

Forbes blasts @GovKathyHochul Bills boondoggle: "the stadium will cost taxpayers money, take away funds from investments that actually could help the economy, and produce little if any net economic gain for the region or the impoverished city of Buffalo." forbes.com/sites/richardmcga…

Call your representatives and tell them to support the Freelance Isn’t Free Act for NY State!
Find your Assembly-member here: nyassembly.gov/mem/search/
Find your Senator here: nysenate.gov/find-my-senator
You can't eat "exposure". Get paid for your work.
Artists, writers, & other creatives are used to being stiffed. But since Freelance Isn’t Free was passed in NYC, freelancers have recovered > $2.1 million. A New York State law would cover more workers w/stronger protections. Tell NYS lawmakers to pass #FreelanceIsntFree now.
It’s illegal to not pay hired employees. It shouldn’t be any different for freelancers. The Freelance Isn’t Free Act in NYS will penalize companies that pay freelancers more than 30 days late. Tell NYS lawmakers to pass #FreelanceIsntFree today.
Exposure doesn’t pay rent. Pass the Freelance Isn’t Free Act in New York State, so freelancers can get paid on time, like everyone else. #FreelanceIsntFree
