Urge Your State Senator to Support Marriage Equality
Urge Your State Senator to Support Marriage Equality
A marriage equality bill (A.7732/O'donnell) (S.4401/Duane) to provide equal access to marriage for same-sex couples has passed the State Assembly with bipartisan support.
Now, we need the State Senate to act!
Please let your Senator know that the time is now for them to support our families and provide same-sex couples the rights and responsibilities of marriage.

End the double-taxing of freelancers
Freelancers working in NYC are subject to an unfair double tax called the "unincorporated business tax." With independent workers in our community struggling more than ever, it's time to re-focus the UBT on its original target: big businesses not subject to corporate taxes. Sign on to the Freelancers Union campaign to change the law and exempt for freelancers from the UBT.
