Campaign to Pass the Child Victims Act in NYS.

Survivors & victims of childhood sexual assault demand access to justice!

[NYpassedCVA @NYpassCVA]

We are a coalition of survivors. Some of the reasons #WhyIDidntReport include:
-Told mom what my step dad was doing & she supported him

-I was 3

-I was threatened

-No one believed a priest would rape me

-He was my brother

-I’m undocumented

This is astonishing, yet not surprising. If it feels like you're far less safe in NYC than ever before, it's not bc shootings are up. It's because the media (fueled by lies & fearmongering by NYC Mayor Eric Adams) is up. Look at this chart. Red line is shootings. Grey is media.

Want to see the Adult Survivors Act pass in NY so time-barred survivors of sexual assault can sue their abusers and orgs who covered up abuse?

Join a Survivor Day of Action on Monday, May 23 in Albany.

PLEASE sign up for the day https://t.co/8LhIapna2q

Hey @VoteJenLunsford, abusers will never stop as long as institutions protect them. We need real accountability. Stand with survivors or get out of our way. Make Mother’s Day count and pass the #AdultSurvivorsAct. https://t.co/70qj6UuF3Q

I am a proud co sponsor of the #AdultSurvivorsAct

It’s time to #PasstheASA

The Coalition to support ASA (comprised of hundreds of survivors & advocates from across NYS) demands that the Assembly Judiciary Committee bring this crucial bill for a vote immediately. The Committee HAS THE VOTES NEEDED. #stopthestall #stepup @CharlesLavineNY @CarlHeastie

“If we’ve learned anything, the institutions always know”

Important words from @EvelynYang about institutions covering up sexual assault at todays #TraumaTakesTime press conference. 

Now we must pass the Adult Survivors Act and hold those institutions accountable.

“We don’t talk about those who don’t have stories about the Prince Andrews of the world…but who have stories of trauma and pain about those in our community who prey on those they consider to be prey.”

Thank you @DonnaHylton for standing up for women of color #TraumaTakesTime

[Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” @LindaBRosenthal]

Sexual assault survivors face many obstacles to healing & justice. NY law should not be one. #AdultSurvivorsAct recognizes #TraumaTakesTime & gives survivors time *they* need to seek justice.

NYS must pass #ASA in 2022! @deardrewdixon @GloriaAllred @MHoechstetter @EvelynYang

[NYpassedCVA @NYpassCVA]

NY and @GovKathyHochul must prioritize the passage of the #AdultSurvivorsAct when session is convened in January.

[The DiPietro Law Firm @TheFirm]

For the past 30 yrs Columbia and NYPH have been issuing #FakeApologizes for the harm that Hadden caused, while IGNORING the fact that their Chairpeople and Trustees knew of Hadden’s abuse, watched him run wild, paid off his victims, tied up women in NDAs, and lied to prosecutors.

[NYpassedCVA @NYpassCVA]

We stand with our sister survivors @MHoechstetter, @EvelynYang and all those demanding justice and accountability from @Columbia. We will fight with you until the #AdultSurvivorsAct becomes law.

[The DiPietro Law Firm @TheFirm]

I stand with @MHoechstetter, @EvelynYang and all survivors demanding justice and accountability. I will fight with you and for you until we win the #AdultSurvivorsAct.

[Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” @LindaBRosenthal]

In awe of courage of survivors @deardrewdixon @EvelynYang & @DonnaHylton. Survivors of color struggle harder to have their voices heard & access justice. It’s vital we center their voices in fight to pass the #AdultSurvivorsAct. Thank you @SafeHorizon for bringing us together.

[Alison Turkos @alisonturkos]

.@deardrewdixon, @EvelynYang and @DonnaHylton hold space for one another and truly break the world open with their stories.
Survivors of color must be at every table and must be at the center of everything ❤️

Have you ever taken a sexual abuse case to trial in New York?

[NYpassedCVA @NYpassCVA]

NY survivors: Remember that time, way back in January, we watched the @NYSenDems and @NYSA_Majority pass the Child Victims Act? The window for adult survivors to bring civil cases to court opens in August! If you are talking to attorneys, make sure you are asking questions like:

What is your track record representing survivors in NY?
