Tax the Rich: Albany Takeover February 25, 2026 RSVP here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/tax-the-rich-albany-takeover/ On February 25, we're getting on the bus to Albany. We need you with us. Working New Yorkers are being stretched to the breaking point while billionaires get even richer. Rent keeps rising. Childcare costs more than college. Groceries and utilities eat up paychecks. We have like three buses. This crisis isn’t inevitable. It’s the result of political choices. That’s why, together with a coalition of partners, we’re bringing thousands of New Yorkers to Albany for a march and rally to demand a New York we can actually afford. We’re calling on state leaders to tax the rich and invest in the public goods working families need and deserve, including universal childcare, permanently affordable housing, and filling the cuts to social programs imposed by the Trump administration. We’re coordinating transportation leaving the MHV around 7 am and returning in the evening. More details about the day and transportation will be shared closer to February 25. For now, we need to know who’s ready to show up. Please RSVP only if you truly intend to come, so we can plan transportation and make this moment as powerful as possible. This is our moment to show Albany the power of working people, and to demand that the richest New Yorkers finally pay what they owe so we can fund a New York we can afford. You won’t want to miss it. Thanks to our partners helping plan this day of action: NYC-DSA, UAW-9A, New Yorkers United for Child Care, PSC-CUNY, Alliance for Quality Education, Invest in Our New York, Strong Economy for All, Jewish Voice for Peace NYC, For the Many, JFREJ, NY Working Families Party, Citizen Action of NY.
