Author Archives: Board of Directors Greater NYC for Change

We’re back!

In July 2017, at the Annual Meeting of Greater NYC for Change, our members agreed to “Pause” our efforts so as to encourage important work by and with the many Resistance groups that had sprung up in New York City. In July 2018, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to hit “Reset” so as to organize efforts not only to stop Trump, but also to lead toward the kind of government that can provide both a stronger present and a better, more equal future for us all.

Clipboards Ready!
Come canvass with us this fall!

Watch this page for information on the Vote Blue 2018 buses, a coalition effort to send hundreds, even thousands of volunteers to canvass this fall in key districts located within a two-hour-travel radius of New York City. We aim to take back the US Congress for the Democrats and elect a true-blue Democratic majority in the New York State Senate. The canvasses start on September 15th and run through Election Day. To register for the September 15th canvass, click here.

Wanna fight Trumpcare? Here’s who to call

It’s time to be blunt. You’ve seen the images of protestors–many of them wheelchairs or holding medical equipment–being escorted away by police from the Capitol offices of Senator Mitch McConnell.

We’re asking–no, begging–you to support them and nearly 24 million Americans who face losing access to potentially life-saving care. We’re asking you to make a few quick calls every day this week to stop the Republican Senate #Wealthcare bill. Then tell five friends to do the same. Keep repeating, and together we can build up the volume of outrage to kill this bill.

If you have friends and relatives in red states, call them, too, and ask them to phone their senators’ offices every day. Volume and persistence count.

We suggest that you call the 11 senators listed in the Trumpcare Toolkit,clicking on the links to put the calls through. If time is limited, please focus on the following:

Don’t be afraid to leave a message. Say that you’re calling as a neighbor and an American. Tell them your family and America’s poor, disabled, children, and almost all elderly people living in nursing homes–America’s moms and dads and grandparents–can’t accept devastating cuts to Medicaid to pay for a tax cut for this country’s richest.

Tell them history will remember how they voted on this bill. Demand that they vote NO.
