These are the policies that New Yorkers need and deserve:

 

Bold action from our state leaders—the Governor and the Legislature—is more critical than ever in 2025 following the election of President Trump and new Republican majorities in Congress. Trump and his allies in Washington stand in direct opposition to the values we fight for and are openly hostile to the solutions Citizen Action champions across a wide range of policy areas.

Our 2025 Legislative and Policy Agenda outlines key legislative priorities and actions state agencies must take to meet the needs of everyday New Yorkers. This agenda, which includes bill numbers and detailed explanations, focuses on Public Money (revenue), Climate Justice, Democracy, Economic Justice and Workers’ Rights, Ending Mass Incarceration, Health Care Equity, Housing Justice, and Universal Child Care and Education Justice.

Additionally, our Justice Agenda presents a broader vision for our communities, highlighting key steps the state must take to bring this vision to life.
