Hochul also voiced opposition to federal cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, highlighting their significance to over 7 million New Yorkers who depend on these programs.
"Did we pick up the torch for justice and women's rights and social justice and civil rights?" Hochul challenged the congregation to reflect on their societal responsibilities.
"I am seeking an expanded child tax credit, lower middle-class taxes, free community colleges, and increased affordable housing." Hochul laid out her economic agenda for New York.
