A docket of bold social justice legislation that was ready for action in Albany is in limbo – at least for now. 

The coup in the New York State Senate this week sidetracked legislation that would provide:

• recognition of marriage rights for lesbians and gays;
• clear, affirmative recognition of the right to reproductive choice;
• protections against bias-based bullying in schools;
• comprehensive sex education in schools;
• paid family leave benefits;
• transparency and accountability in the mayor’s operation of the NYC school system;
• and more...

For more than a generation, the old-line majority in the Senate killed almost every major piece of progressive legislation. Assuming the current deal holds, this agenda is once again at risk – potentially for years.

We cannot afford to wait another generation for real change in New York.
