ALIGN NY

Today the Raise Up NY coalition talked to NYC Council members about raising NYC’s minimum wage to $30 by 2030!

Thank you for productive conversations on how we can tackle the affordability crisis in New York City.

Too many New Yorkers are struggling to get by. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and ensure that our city is truly great for all New Yorkers.

Amazon drivers are endangered by their own delivery trucks.

It’s obvious how much Amazon cares about their drivers by the state of their vehicles: broken doors and panels, missing lug nuts on wheels, haphazard fixes, often with the same tape workers use to secure cardboard boxes.

It’s no surprise that Amazon has more labor law violations than any other company in New York City. However, Amazon won’t even call Amazon drivers their employees, instead setting up fake subcontractors to dodge any responsibility for the danger they pose for their drivers or our communities.

We need the NYC Council to take action. Not only is Amazon endangering their own workers, they are hurting our communities as well – all while skirting accountability. With the dramatic rise in package deliveries in NYC, “Last Mile” facilities are fueling more crashes, congestion, and pollution. Truck-related crashes increased more than doubled in the areas around these facilities. This is a public health and safety crisis.

We’re calling for the passage of the Delivery Protection Act so we can hold abusive delivery companies like Amazon accountable, protect workers, and increase street safety.

Dear , New Yorkers want Green Healthy Schools!

Students, parents, and teachers are delivering postcards every day in April (Earth Month!) calling on Mayor Mamdani to invest in Green Healthy Schools!

Our public school buildings are in dire condition - many of them are at least 75 years old. We’re calling on the next NYC Mayor to invest in green upgrades for NYC public schools. We can lead the nation and create thousands of green union jobs, improve student performance, and deliver thriving communities, because students, teachers, and school workers deserve schools where they can work and learn safely.

NO KINGS! NO ICE! NO WARS!

We joined over 350,000 New Yorkers at the historic No Kings march to send a clear message that we won’t let oligarchs determine our future.

We are proud to march with and to show that workers are coming together and building the people power needed to defeat the corporate take over of our country. With millions taking action across the country, we showed that this movement is growing stronger every day.
