New York City, under City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, is the only place in the whole world that has large-scale, government-sanctioned 24-hour workdays.

• Last year, Speaker Adams colluded with greedy insurance and home care companies to block the Int. 615 “No More 24 Act”, forcing many women workers of color to go on a 6-day hunger strike in the cold.
• Meanwhile, the city has become ever more unaffordable for students, workers, and small businesses as we face underemployment, pension and Social Security cuts, environmental destruction, soaring rent and property taxes.
• To add insult to injury, Speaker Adams refused to bring to a vote Int.1096 – a vital bill that preserves Medicare insurance for city retirees -- leaving our health and lives in jeopardy.
• What does she support? Pro-developer bills! Instead of building much-needed low-income housing, she rushed to pass Mayor Eric Adams’ “City of Yes” Plan, which serves as a resounding “yes” to allow rich developers to displace New Yorkers in all five boroughs.

Let’s uphold the spirit of the movement for the 8-hour workday and the protection of our health and wellbeing! Join us this May Day to rally for our people-first demands:

NYC Speaker Adrienne Adams, Right your Wrongs!

• Abolish the 24-hour workday, vote on Int. 615
• Fight for quality healthcare for all, vote on Intro 1096
• Stop displacement, repeal “City of Yes” Plan
