Two years after ProPublica first documented New York state’s dire shortage of guardians — and the substandard care some provide — lawmakers are pitching a $15 million-per-year fix.

It’s unclear whether the law has the support of Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Hey everyone. @emanahmed was able to find housing for her family of 8, but she still needs a few hundred dollars to secure it for the winter. Please join me and helping them stay warm during these cold months. The shelling continues and this is a chance for protection from that and the rain.

Hey y’all! 👋🏼 For new folks, I’m a two spirit storyteller, organizer, & curious human.

Having spent 15+ years in advertising (Capitalism + Tech + Media), I’ve been in the room where it happens & it was TERRIFYING.

Tech & media are holding us back because the bros are at the wheel.

I founded the @roots of change agency after Jan 6 to fight fascism and build healthier media & tech practices for activists, communicators, and heart-first humans.

Don’t settle for enshitified media!
