About

StandUpScott.org is a project of Citizen Action of New York and True Majority.

Citizen Action of New York is a statewide membership organization founded in 1983. We have individual members and are a coalition of labor, senior citizen, women’s, student, tenant and community organizations that works with community activists for social, racial, economic and environmental justice.

We fight for quality affordable health care for all, jobs that pay living wages with decent benefits, expanded Medicare coverage for seniors that includes prescription drugs, strong investment in public education and after-school programs, campaign finance reform, an end to corporate tax loopholes and tax breaks for the wealthy, and consumer protections.

TrueMajority was founded by Ben Cohen, Co-founder, Ben and Jerry’s. It is a grassroots education and advocacy joint project of UsAction and UsAction Education Fund.

The central objective of TrueMajority is to increase America’s investment in programs that benefit our children (like schools, health care, HeadStart) by cutting Cold War weapons systems and shifting the savings. That’s just 15% of the Pentagon budget but would make $60 billion available every year to meet children’s basic needs.
