ALBANY â Jairo Reyes did not eat for three days. Weak, tired and famished, he remembered his community when he found it difficult to focus.
Reyes, of Yonkers, was one of hundreds of New Yorkers to participate in a 23-day statewide hunger strike to raise awareness for funding for thousands of state essential workers excluded from unemployment benefits or stimulus checks for people who lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.

Half a million of our fellow New Yorkers happen to be undocumented. They are part of our city, they are part of the life of our city.

They have been suffering without a lot of the help other people have gotten. This is part of how we recover together, so I do think it was the right thing to do.
