Happy Labor Day BEES!

Labor Day is a reminder of what working people have won by standing together and what we can accomplish when we have a union and a voice on the job.

Today, we celebrate AFT members and working people everywhere who make our communities stronger every day.

Happy Labor Day!

NYSHIP is considering policy changes that could reduce or eliminate coverage for medically necessary treatments like acupuncture and medical massage therapy provided by Licensed Massage Therapists.

For many patients, these therapies are not luxuries — they are essential treatments that help manage pain, improve mobility, reduce stress, and improve quality of life.

If these changes move forward, many individuals may lose access to the care they depend on simply because they cannot afford it out of pocket.

We kindly ask you to take a few minutes to make your voice heard by completing a few actions below:

1. Sign the Change.org petition.

2. Submit the Keep My NYSHIP Benefits form - https://keepmynyshipbenefits.com/contact/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email%20marketing&utm_campaign=MYSHIP%20Petition%20To%20Patients%20-%202026%20resend-unopened%20(12-05-2026) -form

Join the movement! Sign the petition of Keep My NYSHIP Benefits today. Support the cause and make a difference today.
