This Wednesday, June 28, join us for a demonstration at City Hall to urge Mayor Adams to stop dragging his feet on cutting the fare for low-income New Yorkers. We’ll be there cutting the fare for riders one MetroCard at a time to urge Mayor Adams to #ExpandFairFares!
The cost of everything is going up, including rent for rent stabilized units and transit fares, which are due to rise to $2.90 this summer. That means low-income New Yorkers are about to get hit even harder by our city’s ongoing affordability emergency — and Mayor Adams needs to meet the moment with bold action to put more money into the pockets of working New Yorkers.
Right now, the Mayor has the power to fund an expansion of the Fair Fares program and cut transit costs in half for more than 1 million people. But, with the city budget due at the end of June and no indication that he intends to do that, we’re left with no choice but to pull up and show out to demand our Mayor rise to the occasion.
