The Doorways to Donation Act passed in the state Senate and Assembly last week.
The bill would let New Yorkers register as organ donors when filing their taxes.
Please sign this @GovKathyHochul.

Every hour, an American dies waiting for a kidney.
We know how to stop it.
The End Kidney Deaths Act is bipartisan and widely supported. What are we waiting for?

Two years ago today, Congressman Donald Payne Jr. passed away after living with kidney disease and enduring dialysis.
He understood the pain of America’s kidney shortage firsthand and wanted to lead the End Kidney Deaths Act.
We can honor his legacy by ending a shortage that kills 10,000 Americans each year.

@Freakonomics Stephen Dubner gets it.
The kidney shortage isn’t inevitable. It’s a policy failure.
