NY MoveOn members support a progressive challenger to Gov. Cuomo

Ilya Sheyman



Here’s what a few MoveOn members shared:
“Instead of representing New Yorkers who want progressive solutions to growing economic inequality, Cuomo is siding with employers and Wall Street because he thinks that will help his presidential ambitions,” wrote David L., a MoveOn member from Brooklyn, as he responded to the survey. “We need a governor who has his eye on working New Yorkers, not on his own national political resume.”

“Governor Cuomo is not listening to parents, teachers, and public school advocates. As a result, our urban public schools are being gutted in the name of privatization and profit. Turning our public schools over to charter companies will NOT solve the issues plaguing our urban children and families,” wrote Meg C., a MoveOn member from Rochester. “We need to invest, as a community, and in order to do that, we need real leadership.”
