Photos from This Week’s TII (formerly COLA) Rally – 15 more Legislators Signed on Bringing our Total to 115


Our Photo 4% Campaign hit another major milestone this week as 15 more legislators stopped by for a picture.

This brings our total to 115 legislators since the start of our campaign!

This is an extraordinary sign of support for including a 4% targeted inflationary increase (formerly known as the COLA) in the FY 2026-27 state budget for community-based behavioral health and human services.

This investment is essential as these entities are serving New Yorkers and families amidst rising costs and challenges to sustain and recruit the workforce.

As the budget process reaches a new phase, we will continue to rally at the State Capitol until the final budget is passed.
