🌱New Yorkers Rally To Support Roe V. Wade + Hochul Picks New Lt. Gov.

While New York has abortion access codified into its constitution, that didn't stop thousands from taking to the streets on Tuesday to show their support for the right to choose.

First, today's weather:

Cloudy, a couple of showers. High: 64 Low: 55.

Lawmakers spoke at a press conference on Tuesday, vowing to "ensure that this right is protected." While she didn't offer specifics, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams noted the Supreme Court's ruling would have a particularly adverse affect on low-income women in conservative states. (Gothamist)
2. Only 39 out of 264 homeless New Yorkers accepted to be transferred from the street into a shelter, as Mayor Adams' controversial "encampment sweeps" enter their sixth week. City Hall considers that number to be an accomplishment, but homeless advocates are not convinced.(New York City Patch)
