  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society. Esmeralda Simmons of the Center for Law and Social Justice, Medgar Evers College, Margaret Fung of the Asian American Legal Defense and Educa- tion Fund, Jon Greenbaum of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Debo Adegbile of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund assisted in editing this report.

  • May 13, 2020 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House United States House
    May 13, 2020 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House United States House of Representatives 1236 Longworth HOB Washington DC 20515 Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Russell Wilson Senate Building Washington Dc 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer: First off we’d like to thank you, on behalf of our constituents and all New Yorkers for the work you’re doing during the COVID-19 global pandemic. We write to you today to bring up concerns we have been hearing from small businesses regarding the conditions and terms of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The requirement that businesses allocate 75 percent of the loan money to cover payroll costs, with only 25 percent allowed for other overhead in order for the loan to be converted to a grant, is simply not feasible for many small businesses in areas affected by COVID-19. The terms of the PPP leave only a mere eight weeks to rehire their payroll. For many, this will fall within the month of June when our state will only be in the early phases of reopening. In regions such as New York City that are unable to open up and will have a slow phase in, these restrictions to converting the funds to a loan will not be able to be met and will do further harm to those who will now be saddled with additional debt or forced to lay off their workers again. Most small businesses that are in the hospitality industry are closed or employing only a skeleton staff as a result of Governor Cuomo’s NY PAUSE order.

Beginning in 2010, the New Yorkers for Better Libraries PAC initi- ated a program of legislative accountability: Statement Concerning Legislative Accountability The New Yorkers for Better Libraries Political Action Commit- tee has determined that there is a need for greater accountabil- ity concerning state legislators’ actions on issues of importance to the library community and the millions of library users and voters throughout the state. Beginning in 2010, the New Yorkers for Better Libraries Political Action Committee will track library-related state legislation and will publish a report card/voters guide concerning each state leg- islator’s degree of support for libraries. Sponsorship and co-spon- sorship of legislation, recorded votes concerning library legislation and state aid for libraries will be the indicators for assessment.

Among the committee’s many accomplishments was the enactment of several bills related to the reform of our state’s criminal justice system– most notably legislation to increase the age of criminal responsibility and to improve the quality of the public defense system. The Assembly also approved a series of bills to provide further protections to victims of domestic violence, sex crimes, and human trafficking. Further, the committee worked with other standing committees to enact legislation to protect children and other vulnerable populations. The Assembly can be justly proud of our legislative accomplishments which are set forth in this report. The committee extends its appreciation to you for your support. In addition, I would like to thank the committee members and staff for their hard work during the 2017 Legislative Session. Sincerely, Joseph R.

  • Letter to Governor Cuomo
    NEW YORK STATE SENATE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY April 7, 2020 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo Executive Chamber The Capitol Albany, New York 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write to request the immediate release of $5 million to the “Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty” (known as Met Council) from the 2020/21 Budget Special Public Health Emergency Appropriation Account. As has been widely reported, significant undesignated emergency funds for New York’s food pantries are to be disbursed from this account for expenses in the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Passover holiday starting Wednesday night, Met Council has been working overtime as New York’s only kosher food bank to provide nutrition, tradition, and dignity to vulnerable kosher New Yorkers. This past month alone, they have distributed millions of pounds of free food to 149 distribution sites across New York despite the greatest challenges. Temporary workers are replacing elderly volunteers to keep their warehouse and pantries open. And despite cancelled produce shipments, disrupted supply chains and spikes in the wholesale price of food staples, Met Council is continuing service to 225,000 existing clients and 40 regular food pantries while mobilizing emergency food to thousands of additional families facing new financial hardship. Met Council has even taken it upon themselves to provide homebound Holocaust survivors with food deliveries directly to their homes. Through a new warehouse that they have secured, and with limited private funding, Met Council just launched a pilot with Uber that is delivering food directly to the homes of 500 Holocaust survivors. You can read more about it here in the New York Post and AM New York.
