New York gender and racial justice organizations will celebrate our history victory electing Governor Kathy Hochul, thanks to turnout from women across the state. PowHer NY, Empire State Childcare Campaign, and the NY Caring Majority are coming together to lay out our vision for a women’s equity and care agenda in the Governor’s coming term, and highlight the need for strong and sustained state investment in childcare, home care, pay equity, reproductive justice and maternal care, and ending the criminalization of Black girls.
NY Women Care & Count
Governor Hochul’s first full term can make a pivotal difference in the lives and economic well-being of New York women, especially women and girls of color. Her priorities need to advance a caring economy, good-paying jobs, a lower cost of living, women’s maternal health and bodily autonomy, rights and opportunities for girls, and an equitable economic recovery for New York’s ten million women. The vision presented sees the Governor acting to address longstanding gender and racially based discrimination, and set a path for inclusive gender justice.
