Take Action: Help pass the tax on soda and sugary drinks

Over 10 million New Yorkers are overweight. That means more diabetes and more heart disease. A few pennies can help.

To Our Leaders in Albany,

We have the opportunity to help New Yorkers prevent and fight obesity, diabetes and heart disease by passing the tax on sugary sodas and drinks.

The tax will help reverse the trend of obesity among youth, which has tripled over the past three decades. The tax could save the state billions of dollars, since obesity-related medical expenditures cost the state nearly $7.6 billion a year.

I urge you to support the tax, because a few extra pennies will make a world of difference.
