Mamdani and Hochul fund NYC abortion hub

New York City and State are providing $495,000 in funding to expand the Abortion Access Hub, a confidential hotline connecting callers to abortion services, support, and resources. The investment aims to improve access outside New York City, with the funding supporting coordination with providers and travel assistance. The initiative, launched after the Dobbs decision, has answered over 10,400 calls, with many seeking medication abortion and some from outside New York. Officials emphasize the expansion as part of their effort to protect reproductive rights and oppose rollback efforts at the federal level.
