Rosenthal to rally behind her bill, A3864, to remedy a serious gap in continuing medical education requirements for licensed medical professionals. A3864 will require licensed health care providers to complete training in sexual health, including how to talk to patients about sex, STIs and HIV. Experts believe that this kind of training is needed to address the mistrust and discrimination that communities hit hardest by HIV and STIs continue to experience. The virtual conference supporting A3864 is scheduled for 10 am ET on Thursday, April 22 and will feature the following speakers: ● Michelle D. Collins-Ogle, MD, Children's Hospital at Montefiore, AAHIVM ● Murray Penner, U.S. Executive Director, Prevention Access Campaign/U=U ● Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, Assembly District 67, Committee on Social Services Chair ● Kiara St. James, Co-Founder and Executive Director, New York Transgender Advocacy Group ● David C.

    THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY January 22, 2021 Peter S. Kosinski, Co-Chair Douglas A. Kellner, Co-Chair Andrew J. Spano, Commissioner Anthony J. Casale, Commissioner NYS Board of Elections 40 North Pearl Street, Suite 5 Albany, NY 12207-2729 +1 (518) 474-6220 Dear Co-Chairs and Commissioners, We write to express our strong opposition to the certification of the ExpressVoteXL voting machine for use in New York State. We believe the ExpressVoteXL voting machine does not meet all technical requirements for certification, in particular the language and independent voter verification requirements. ​ ​ The US Election Assistance Commission, which is responsible for federal certification of machines, has certified this ExpressVoteXL machine. This federal commission states that the machine is sufficient to meet the disability and language requirements. However, their criteria are notably less thorough than state election certification procedures and accepting their findings is voluntary to follow by states. We hope you will take the prudent action of not certifying the ExpressVoteXL machine in New York to protect the quality, security, and accessibility of our state election process. As noted above there are two technical issues with the summary card of the vote that is printed for verification by the voter: ● The summary card is only in English and does not meet the language requirement for ​ ​ certification in New York. The touch screen ballot marking process does ask voters to select a language for marking the ballot but once the ballot is marked it prints out a summary card under glass for independent verification. This summary card is only in English.

  • STATEMENT: Empire Justice Center CEO Kristin Brown Shares Highlights of the 2021 Legislative Session
    119 Washington Ave. Albany, NY 12210 Phone 518.462.6831 Fax 518.935-2852 www.empirejustice.org For Immediate Release: June 14, 2021 Contact: Kristin Brown, 518-852-5766, [email protected] STATEMENT: Empire Justice Center CEO Kristin Brown Shares Highlights of the 2021 Legislative Session The 2021 legislative session was both challenging and rewarding. Challenging because the pandemic made it harder to organize and interact with colleagues and legislators. Rewarding because we achieved major victories for low-income and marginalized New Yorkers in spite of the challenges. On the funding front, all the programs we administer benefiting low-and-moderate income New Yorkers received at least level funding. These programs include the Disability Advocacy Program (DAP) for very low-income disabled people, the Homeowner Protection Program (HOPP) for homeowners facing foreclosure, the Liberty Defense Program for immigrants facing removal proceedings, and the Consumer Health Advocates (CHA) program for people coping with medical debt and unfair healthcare care decisions. We are also especially grateful to Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for supporting our immigration work in Yonkers. A project close to my heart during this session is the pilot Tenant Defense Program in Rochester. Senators Sean Ryan, Samra Brouk, Jeremy Cooney and the rest of the Rochester delegation fought for funding to allow all Rochester-area legal services organizations to provide representation for low-income tenants facing housing instability. This is the first step towards a large scale right-to-counsel program in New York state. Empire Justice Center also led efforts in helping to pass several pieces of policy legislation affecting thousands of low-income and marginalized New Yorkers: • Passing the Gender Recognition Act.

    From Washington to Albany: 2020 Election Preview Prepared by: Karin Carreau, Carreau Consulting Richard Gallo, Gallo Associates Jamie Papapetros, Gallo Associates While much of our electoral focus has been on the battle for the Oval Office, New York State races are also heating up as all 63 Senate and 150 Assembly seats are up for re-election. Of note, the statewide offices (Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and Comptroller) are not on the ballot this year. Though 26 seats in the Assembly are open and several !"#$ %#$ &"'()*$#$* &"'+$(+(, +-$ ."/$# -"0($1( (02$# !%3"#)+4 *"$( '"+ %22$%# +" 5$ )' 2$#).6 7-$ %&+)"', (" +" (2$%8, )( playing out in the Senate races where a huge influx of cash by independent billionaires such as cosmetic executive Ron Lauder, police unions and a Virginia-based entity known as Good Government for New York have (combined) spent nearly $4 million to support Republican candidates running in key suburban and upstate races this year. In 2018, Senate Republicans lost their decades long hold on the Chamber in a number of stunning defeats across the State. Regardless of the funding being poured into campaigns, the work to regain ground is c onsidered to be uphill as nine Republican held seats have or will be vacated due to an unprecedented number of announced retirements and resignations over the last several months. Nonetheless, the battles are expected to be at full throttle until Election Day on November 3rd as Senate Democrats stand two seats away from having a veto proof majority and thereby controlling the once-in-a-decade redistricting process following the 2020 census with long-term implications for the balance of power in the upper house.

  • Monroe County Superintendents' Advocacy Letter
    The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Commissioner Howard Zucker Governor of New York State New York State Department of Health New York State Capitol Building Corning Tower Albany, New York 12224 Empire State Plaza Albany, New York 12237 March 26, 2021 Dear Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Zucker, O n behalf of New York State Superintendents from the Monroe County region, we thank you and your teams for your efforts to support New York State during this pandemic. We have learned a great deal over the past year and you have adjusted the state’s approach to combating COVID-19 on many fronts as conditions have improved. Based on new guidance from the CDC and a study by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, we ask that you revise in-school distancing requirements to three feet. We consider this request urgent for the social-emotional and educational health of the more than 100,000 students we serve. Many districts are planning to reopen more broadly because the past year of hybrid and remote learning has had a largely negative impact on students. Parents, teachers, students, counselors and administrators report that a concerning number of students are falling behind or failing, completely disengaged from learning, withdrawn, anxious and even self-harming. For their safety, students need the routine, interaction and support of the school environment. We strongly believe that schools continue to be one of the safest places for students during the pandemic. In-school positivity rates are well below community transmission rates and in-school transmission between students has proven almost non-existent.
