While Governor Kathy Hochul sat down with legislatures in Albany Tuesday to discuss the state budget, New Yorkers rallied outside her Midtown office to share where they demand funds should be allocated.
The sidewalk outside 633 Third Avenue became a forum for both a public budget discussion and a platform from which a diverse group of New Yorkers appealed for economic backing on Feb. 15. City tenants, students, immigrants, and even parents begged for the governor to support their needs. Hosted by Make the Road New York, the action looked to seek greater healthcare access for immigrants, along with housing protections and more.
