I hardly post on this platform, but this is a new level of unconscionable awful. Last year in NY alone, on ONE day, 1700 DV victims/survivors needs went unmet - do you have any idea how much worse that can be with this attitude?! Sickening.
Trump: "Things that take place in the home they call crime....If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime."

We must pass my bill A.8635 to ensure formerly incarcerated women who were sexually assaulted in New York’s prison system and who filed #AdultSurvivorsAct claims can get their day in court. Justice has been delayed long enough.

For years, the #NYSAssemblyMajority has fought to ensure every individual has access to safe, quality, affordable housing. This year’s state budget delivers by investing $50 million to create a Housing Access Voucher Program!

An honor to work alongside this team and pass #MedicalAidInDying in the Assembly. Can’t wait to celebrate the same victory in the @NYSenate
Lobbyists often get a bad rap, but Assemblymember @AmyPaulin explains how lobbyists @AmandaLCav and @ciccone_louann were critical to passing #MedicalAidInDying through the Assembly.

Yesterday, the Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which allows terminally ill patients to request medication to peacefully end their suffering (A.136). New Yorkers facing unbearable pain deserve compassion, care, and the right to choose a dignified death.

New York State is facing an affordable housing crisis, and Trump’s cuts to critical services threaten to make a bad situation worse. The Housing Access Voucher Program is a lifeline for tens of thousands of New Yorkers as housing prices skyrocket and homelessness rises. That is

The storm of cuts is here, NY must invest in services for our most vulnerable.
Elected officials from local & state levels joined me in urging Gov. Hochul to fund critical services for 60 days after the unlawful suspension of federal grants. We won’t abandon NYers in crisis—we must fight for their care, their dignity & their wellbeing. 🧵 of co-signs

Erasing references to the transgender community is bigoted, despicable, and dangerous. Trans rights are human rights. Transgender individuals are people. In New York, we will always honor transgender individuals' existence and fight for their rights. https://t.co/3MDKYxI6lw
