Every missing persons case deserves to be treated equitably and with the same level of urgencyโand the passage of the BIPOC Missing Women & Girls Taskforce marks an important step in our efforts to meet this goal. 1/2
Today @GovKathyHochul will sign NYโs Reparations Task Force into law. A major step forward in addressing the root of systemic racism, that I & so many others face daily. We must keep building a NY where all families have equal access to opportunity & success.
I travelled to Buffalo today as part of my ongoing work to learn more about mental health across NY. @SenSeanRyan & I toured the Buffalo Psych Center, where we met w/ leaders from @csearegion6, @nyspef, & @nyscopbapr to learn more about what we can do to bring more beds online.
BIPOC communities are facing an epidemic of missing women & girls. As #Roc grieves the loss of Jakarah Lopez-Moore, we are calling on @GovKathyHochul to sign legislation to create a task force to ensure that every missing persons case is handled equitably. 1/2
The first #DanielsLaw Task Force meeting is happening today, where conversations are starting about how we can transform crisis response, and make sure all people are treated with dignity in their time of need. Tune in via livestream here๐๐พ
