NOW: we're rallying outside an @amazon bookstore w/ workers, small businesses, and community members to launch New Yorkers for a Fair Economy.

It's time to keep abusive corporations accountable in our communities.

We are demanding for a #FairEconomyNow!

.@SenGianaris kicking off the rally. 👏

"Too much power is given to a few corporations. We must put teeth into our antitrust laws."

"We’re living another gilded age now and it is incumbent on us to pass legislation to really tip the scale in favor of workers." —@jessicaramos

🔥 from Eugene at @RWDSU.

"Amazon is a monopoly. And we’re going to stop them."

"We need strong antitrust legislation to hold abusive corporations accountable." —Anthony Castellena, @TeamstersJC16

"We are surrounded by monopolistic corporations. We are in the epicenter of the new gilded age." — @EmilyAssembly

"It’s time we do something about strengthening our antitrust laws. It’s a kitchen table issue that matters to workers, that matters to consumers." —@DickGottfried

"Abusive corporations have too much power over our economy and this must stop...These corporations are forcing small businesses in our communities to close. This is wrong." —Leroy Johnson, former small biz owner & member of @nychange

"This is an iron triangle of power. You've got labor, you've got small businesses, and you've got civil rights and community leaders coming together.

This triangle will not break." —@ZephyrTeachout

.@HarveyforNY puts big corps on notice.

"These large corporations are getting away with murder. They push all government — the federal government, the state government — to bend to their reality.

We're not going to take it anymore."

"Monopoly power is the biggest threat to small businesses and this bill does a lot to help them." —Katy Milani, @ILSR

Economic Liberties' very own @Pat_Garofalo up next!

"I talk to people every day, coast to coast, who are looking for ways to support small businesses, to support workers. This bill will do that."

We're so excited to stand w/ @ALIGNny, @nychange, @TeamstersJC16, @ilsr, @TheSOC, @RWDSU & @MaketheRoadNY to launch the New Yorkers for a Fair Economy coalition.
