What Have We Been Up To?
Tin Horn Uprising provided the soundtrack to a particularly theatrical Faso Friday, with a special street art performance by Healthcare Union 1199 and the New York State Nurse’s Association (NYSNA)Aca. Passerby nearly missed it, due to a U-Haul that mysteriously appeared right in front of 721 Broadway about an hour prior to our arrival, but with the help of our artistic allies, we were able to get a little bit louder and show Faso that we’re not going anywhere — at least, not without our health care.

Citizens’ March*
* The definition of the word “citizen” is “an inhabitant of a particular town or city”. We chose this name to combat the right-wing rhetoric and help change the narrative around what a Citizen really is. We welcome all concerned members of towns and cities across the Hudson Valley!
The Trump budget will be devastating for all, and we must make sure our voices are heard!
We believe that we can do better.
Come march to show that we demand a budget that meets everyone’s basic needs, regardless of their age, ability, financial or immigration status — a budget that does not take from our most vulnerable to give tax cuts to the most wealthy.
RSVP Here. If you are part of a group that wants to endorse this event, please fill out this form.
