\"\"SIGN OUR PETITION<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

New York State Fund Our Future is a coalition of union and community leaders committed to making the case for reshaping state government to meet the needs of New Yorkers.\u00a0\u00a0From potholes on the roads we drive, to the lack of mental health services for loved ones when they\u2019re needed most, to feeling unsafe in public spaces, New Yorkers suffer daily from diminishing services despite paying more every year in taxes.<\/p>\n

Decades of bad policies in Albany gutted the state workforce and reduced the public services available in New York. \u00a0The pandemic laid bare the critical importance of the state\u2019s social safety net. \u00a0Just look around you: Waiting lists to get any sort of healthcare services for your loved ones, people with disabilities displaced because there aren\u2019t enough state employees to care for them, violence on the subway and elsewhere in public, to name just a few. \u00a0We know that New Yorkers can\u2019t thrive without services like unemployment assistance, health insurance, mental health care and services for people with developmental disabilities, and safe and reliable public transportation.<\/p>\n

We demand the following on behalf of New Yorkers who benefit from the public services PEF members provide every day:<\/p>\n
