10 years ago, I made a promise that I would do all I could to ensure that every individual has access to the end of life care that they want. Here I am, 10 years later continuing to beat the drum calling on New York State lawmakers to pass the #MedicalAidInDying Act.

Today @safehorizon.bsky.social joined forces with survivor advocates & elected officials @ a City Hall press conference urging @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social to sign the SAFE Shelter Act. Once signed #SAFEShelterNY would help thousands of survivors access safe domestic violence shelter immediately!

The SAFE Shelter Act ensures trafficking survivors can have a safe place to escape to and heal. @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social, sign the SAFE Shelter Act today so trafficking survivors, who often seek shelter without children, can find safety. #SAFEShelterNY
