On April 18 in New York City, we joined with hundreds of allies to launch the "Our City, Our Homes" effort, which is raising the importance of affordable housing in this year's elections. This picture above shows the 300+ people that made it out for the launch, but we expect it to be much, much bigger for the June forum with the candidates for New York City mayor.

The Poughkeepsie chapter partnered with Occupy Hudson Valley, Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson and National People's Action on Tax Day in 2013 to highlight that Bank of America is evading paying its fair share of taxes. We played "corporate dodge ball" to show BOA dodging it's taxes, then as the sun went down we used our new 4 foot lit-up signs to let drivers at the Mid-Hudson Bridge in Poughkeepsie know about BOA's bad practices.

Over 200 people turned out on February 19th to the Family Partnership Center in Poughkeepsie to hear new Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, State Senator Terry Gipson, and State Assemblyman Frank Skartados talk about how they will work for low-income families of the Hudson Valley.
