Roadblock: Excluded workers block Midtown traffic as they seek $3 billion more in relief from Hochul

Advocates for excluded workers who finally received COVID-19 relief earlier this year want another $3 billion in assistance from Governor Kathy Hochul, and they made their case Wednesday by blocking traffic outside her Midtown office.

A day after Hochul outlined her proposed state budget for the coming fiscal year, a coalition of advocates assembled outside of 633 Third Ave. on Jan. 19 to demand a further $3 billion in funds to support excluded workers.
