1/16/25 - The Green Party of New York said that Governor Hochul’s State of the State failed to lay out the bold action needed to deal with the multiple crises facing New York. “Governor Hochul claims her 2025 agenda will deal with the economic problems facing working class New Yorkers, but her proposals are timid steps conditioned by corporate donors rather than the radical and swift action we need,” said Peter LaVenia, co-chair of the Green Party.

The Green Party released its progressive agenda for 2025, including ballot access reform to restore third party political rights, enacting Ranked Choice Voting and proportional representation, passing state-wide single-payer universal healthcare, and needed housing reforms including rent control, constructing one million units of publicly owned social housing. The party argued for immediate action on climate change and opposed Hochul’s steps toward nuclear power, and said that taxing the rich, including stopping the rebate of the Stock Transfer Tax, would help pay for needed reforms and social program expansion including reinvestment in impacted communities, rather than Hochul’s small “inflation rebate” and tax cuts. They said immediate action should be taken to protect immigrants in the face of president-elect Trump’s threat to deport millions, and that New York should divest from companies involved in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
