New York State represents a paradox of immense wealth and high income inequality, ranking among the largest economies globally while grappling with significant disparity. Despite enacting robust climate legislation, the state struggles with compliance and continues to support environmentally damaging industries. Local news outlets have dwindled significantly over the past two decades, resulting in transparency issues and a disconnect between officials and the citizens they serve. A statewide nonprofit news organization is committed to enhancing public awareness regarding power dynamics and decision-making in order to effect real change.
