This year’s state budget includes meaningful investments that will help ease financial strain for working families and individuals across our state.
But the scale of the crisis facing New Yorkers demands greater urgency and ambition when many households remain one unexpected expense, job disruption, or health emergency away from crisis.
Economic security, not mere survival, must be the governing standard for public policy — and FPWA remains committed to working with state leaders to advance bold, lasting solutions that ensure every New Yorker has the resources not just to get by, but to thrive.

As the 100th anniversary of Black History Month comes to a close, FPWA celebrates the many Black trailblazers in policy & social justice who drove meaningful, lasting change.
Their leadership challenged unjust systems and strategically advanced policies that advanced justice for Black communities and working families.
This Black History Month and beyond, we're committed to continuing in the path these leaders blazed, fighting to support low-income New Yorkers and make economic security a reality.
