Thank you to the hundreds of survivors who have come forward to expose the sexual abuse happening at juvenile detention centers.
These cases aren’t just about the past, they’re also about the present. We must hold these abusers and the institutions that enable them accountable.
Thank you @ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg for your support! Is today the day that the @NYSA_Majority will support survivors and send the message that Intoxication is Not Consent?

Proud to lead a letter w/ @KarinesReyes87 & Assemblywomen colleagues in support of passing A1065 to end NY’s Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion. Victims are never at fault for sexual assault, and our laws must reflect that. TY @JeffreyDinowitz & @Fernandez4NY for leading this bill.
Is today the day that #NYSAssembly passes A1065 and eliminates this victim blaming exclusion?

Intoxication does not equate to consent, under any circumstances.
NY survivors deserve access to justice and the NY Assembly needs to support the elimination of this victim blaming exclusion.
#NYPol #nyc #intoxicationisnotconsent #losetheexclusion
In this final week of session, the NYS Assembly should prioritize NY survivors and consider A1065-B, closing the voluntary intoxication exclusion.
NY survivors deserve access to justice! PERIOD!
The time to remove this victim blaming exclusion is now!

Survivors deserve safe housing.
Please support and reach out your state representatives.
Kelly Coyne, Safe Horizon Chief Program Officer: "Single survivors deserve safety."
We call on the New York State Legislature to pass #SAFEShelterNY (A2583/S15) this week!
Find your state legislators and urge them to fund safe shelter for all survivors: elections.ny.gov/new-york-st…
Removing the voluntary intoxication exclusion is absolutely necessary! Thank you @NewYorkStateAG for your support and @JeffreyDinowitz for his continued efforts to get this on the agenda in the next four days!

@NewYorkStateAG Thank you for your support AG James! Along with the unanimous NY Senate and currently over 70 Assembly Member
Co-Sponsors. The time to remove this victim-blaming exclusion from the law is now, PERIOD!

There is no defense for rape and sexual assault, and victims of these terrible crimes deserve to see justice.
Period.

Current New York law prevents people who are voluntarily intoxicated at the time of their assault from accessing justice. New York needs #JusticeWithoutExclusion and the passage of A1065 now!

A big deal! Too often NDAs and non-disparagement agreements prevent survivors from coming forward. It's time to ban them in NY.
My bill A2555A with @agounardes would allow us to do so and protect victims @LiftOurVoicesUS @harassment_free
