VID and thousands of protesters took to the streets this weekend to demand Washington politicians do more to stop the Trump administration’s continued job cuts to vital programs and services including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Approximately 7 million New York state residents rely on Medicaid.
Astroturf follow up
VID along with Grand Street Dems and a coalition of environmental/park advocates protested at City Hall last week in support of Councilmember Christopher Marte introducing his bill to ban Astroturf in NYC parks.
