We're rallying to ban the last vestige of legal slavery in New York: forced labor inside our prisons and jails. Proud to sponsor legislation with @HarveyforNY that bans this practice once and for all, and ensure our Constitution reflects the dignity of every single New Yorker.

Even in the midst of budget negotiations, our coalition met with over 20 legislators today in-person and over Zoom. When we make our voices heard together, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. #NoSlaveryinNY

The Ellis family moved into their Bronx home just over a year ago, but now, after demanding critical repairs from the landlord, are facing eviction. Their struggle is another reason why Albany must enact #GoodCause ASAP. amny.com/politics/exclusive-…
