SOMOS CONFERENCE Saturday, March 9, 2019 Hon
2019 ALBANY SOMOS CONFERENCE Saturday, March 9, 2019 Hon. Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Empire State Plaza Convention Center, Albany, New York Hon. Maritza Davila, Chair MORNING SESSIONS (10:00 AM – 11:45 AM) Equal Access to Driver’s Licenses for All New Yorkers Hearing Room A CO-MODERATORS: Assemblyman Marcos Crespo & Senator Luis Sepúlveda DESCRIPTION: There are 750,000 New Yorkers that are unable to obtain driver’s licenses because of their immigration status. In rural areas throughout the Empire state, public transportation is either infrequent, hard to access, or nonexistent. In these areas, driving becomes a privilege many people don’t think about – providing an avenue to commute to work, pick-up children from school, travel to doctor’s appointments, and fulfill many other essential tasks. If New York were to enact the Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act, it would join twelve states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in providing access to licenses for undocumented immigrants. Join us for a panel to discuss the need for this legislation and the ongoing Green Light Campaign that brings together community members, leaders and activists with the shared goal of obtaining equal access to driver’s licenses for all New Yorkers. PANELISTS: Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Kings County; Emma Kreyche, Statewide Coordinator, Green Light NY Campaign, Worker Justice Center of New York; Nestor Marquez, Westchester Member, Make the Road New York Securing the Future of New York’s Dreamers Hearing Room B CO-MODERATORS: Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa & NYC Councilman Francisco Moya DESCRIPTION: In early 2019, the historic José Peralta New York State DREAM Act (S.1250 / A.782) passed through the state legislature.

Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

The Geography—And New Politics—Of Housing in New York City Public Housing
The Geography—and New Politics—of Housing in New York City Public Housing Tom Waters, Community Service Society of New York, November 2018 The 178,000 public housing apartments owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority are often de- scribed as “a city within a city.” The Community Service Society has estimated the numbers of public housing apartments for the New York City portion of each legislative district in the city. These estimates were made by assigning buildings within public housing developments to legislative districts based on their addresses.

July 20, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York
July 20, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo— Thank you and your administration for your leadership during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We write to you today regarding the proposed $2.45 million cut for the Settlement House Program (SHP). This funding stream, which was approved during the FY 20-21 budget, provides funding for 48 settlement houses across the state and is critical to our communities who rely heavily on the services that settlement houses provide. We respectfully request that your administration not only avoid cuts to this program but also work with us to increase funding for SHP to support these essential organizations as they provide crisis services during the pandemic. For decades, settlement houses have been foundations of support for neighborhoods across New York State, with some having served their communities for over 100 years. Residents rely on these programs for a wide array of crucial services including employment programs, food pantry programs, children's and afterschool programs, language and literacy education, legal counseling, arts programming, senior services, and health and home care. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, settlement houses have shifted their programming to adjust to the new facts on the ground. These programs have taken the lead on distributing life-saving Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including sanitizer and masks and have changed their senior center operations into virtual assets, providing online classes and telephone check ins for their most vulnerable clients. They have continued to provide case management services and have expanded the distribution of home delivered meal ("meals on wheels") programs to meet the significant increase in demand for New York’s seniors.

How Congestion Pricing Will Benefit Downtown Manhattan
How congestion pricing will benefit Downtown Manhattan GREENWICH VILLAGE • NOHO • SOHO • EAST VILLAGE • LOWER EAST SIDE • CHINATOWN • TRIBECA • FINANCIAL DISTRICT New York City’s transit system is in crisis Congestion pricing is a realistic step we can take to reduce traffic, cut air pollution, and increase funding for public transportation. ⊲ Congestion pricing would charge drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street at certain times, and use the revenue for citywide transit improvements. ⊲ In London, congestion pricing has improved transit, reduced traffic congestion by 15%, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. In Stockholm, traffic congestion decreased by 22% and childhood asthma rates dropped by 50% after congestion pricing started. Improvements are planned — but need funding These MTA projects are underway or Many of these projects are delayed or in already completed: need of additional money to proceed: ⊲ Provide full accessibility (ADA) at the ⊲ More reliable train service on the 1, 2, 3, 4, Chambers Street Station on the J & Z Line 5, 6, B, D, F, M, N, Q, R and W lines ⊲ Repair stairs at Franklin Street, 14th Street ⊲ Replace escalators at Bowling Green Station (6th Ave/7th Ave/Lexington Ave) and Canal ⊲ Construct a new substation for increased and (N/Q) Street stations better subway service on the 8th Ave Line ⊲ More reliable train service on the A, C, and E ⊲ Over 180 fully accessible (ADA) stations ⊲ Upgrade lighting at Canal Street, Chambers system-wide in 10 years Street, Union Square and Grand Street stations ⊲ Purchase over 3,000 new subway cars Tell Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature to pass congestion pricing COMMUTERS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
