Tell our reps in Albany to step up for the LGBTQIA2S+ Community!
With all that's happening in DC, one of our strongest firewalls is that we live in NY, and NY doesn't make space for bigots.
We have strong and robust protections for our community, but we need stronger ones against this latest wave of anti-trans and anti-queer hate. This starts with passing legislation that protects our community - send a letter now to voice your support for Equality NY's 2025 legislative platform and to urge your representative to vote yes on these bills!
