Public policy is a key component in empowering those who experience sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination. Recently, with more awareness being brought to the public about the prevalence of those issues and with the strong statements made by the Me, Too and Times Up movements , state and federal lawmakers have proposed bills that will further the rights of people who have gone through those experiences. One such bill being proposed in New York State is bill s6382a which, “Relates to prohibiting contract provisions that waive certain substantive and procedural rights.”
Our founders have communicated with local New York senators and secured their support as co-sponsors in favor of passing the bill into legislation. You, too, may take action by contacting your local senator and requesting their support to pass this bill into law.
