Columbia County Sanctuary Movement organized for the Excluded Worker Fund campaign. This work made it even more apparent that the NYS system is unjust and fails many workers. The Excluded No More program came out of this work. Iridian Lucas Garcia of CCSM spoke with WOOC's Sina Basila Hickey about the Excluded No More legislation which will make it possible for NYS's most vulnerable workers to get access to unemployment compensation, no matter what they do for a living or where they're from. www.sanctuarycolumbiacounty.org/fund-excl…d-workers
