(Albany, NY) With the ACA and Medicaid in peril, hundreds of clergy and faith leaders are calling for the passage of the New York Health Act (A4738/S4840)—a bill that would implement a universal single-payer health care system covering all residents.

On Wednesday May 10th, community members and advocates from around the state gathered in Albany for a day of advocacy and action on prison and parole justice. As part of the day, a group of clergy and faith leaders delivered a letter endorsing the Challenging Incarceration platform, a holistic and comprehensive approach towards the radical transformation of the criminal justice system in New York.
