This budget cycle, we faced uncertainty with IOLA funding, a first since its inception. We need to #ProtectIOLA. Senate Bill 9130 is a crucial step in ensuring that the IOLA fund serves its intended purpose: providing vital legal aid to low-income New Yorkers. #SupportS9130

Civil legal aid is a lifeline for many low-income New Yorkers facing critical legal issues. Support SB 9130 to ensure that the IOLA fund fulfills its mission of providing civil legal aid to low-income New Yorkers #ProtectIOLA #SupportS9130 @SenSeanRyan @LizKrueger @SenatorHoylman

We’re proud to stand with the mvmt for #RightToCounsel. 20+ U.S. cities states & counties have #RTC! 200+ NYS orgs support a #StatewideRTC for tenants, and @NYCCouncil & @ALBCouncil passed resolutions in support last year. @GovKathyHochul, NYS needs #RTC & $260M this year!

Tenant power 🤝 worker power
Tenants + legal services workers stand in solidarity together to demand #StatewideRTC & $260M in the budget! All NYers facing displacement deserve #RTC—and all legal services workers deserve to be paid well and have manageable caseload! – at North Adams, MA
