In this mini episode, NYCETC CEO Gregory J. Morris issues an urgent call to action in response to the federal “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and the real-time threats it poses to essential safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP. 

Greg reflects on NYCETC’s recent mobilization, where over 100 organizations joined a collective letter opposing the federal government’s push toward economic contraction. He discusses why any effort to reduce access to healthcare and food security is also an attack on economic mobility, equitable job opportunities, and employment growth.

If New York is to remain a place of opportunity, leaders at every level must rethink how we use our dollars, how we collaborate, and how we move forward with collective strength.

Mini episodes of The NYC Workforce Drop deliver high-impact insights in under 15 minutes, perfect for leaders on the go who want clear analysis and bold ideas for NYC’s workforce future.
