Three New York City-based LGBTQ political clubs delivered a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul and top lawmakers in Albany urging them to increase funding and other forms of support for trans New Yorkers and individuals living with HIV/AIDS in the next state budget.
The Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City, the Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn, and NYC Pride and Power joined together to call on state leaders to step up at a time when the federal government has launched an all-out attack on the rights of transgender Americans and critical HIV/AIDS programs. The letter was addressed to Hochul, State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, and State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins.
