The gendered dynamics of interruption and the power to interrupt is always so in your face in these settings. My god.

It is also worth calling @CarlHeastie, assembly speaker, at 518 455 3791!

ATTENTION ADVOCATES!!!

We have received reports that, if @AndreaSCousins' office gets enough support from us, a special session will be called to vote on the DP bill.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALL HER AT 518 455 2585 TODAY!! It's super quick and her staff is extremely friendly.

@dp4ny @AndreaSCousins Voicemail is full! Is there another number we could try?

[BS @merreve9]

Curious what would happen if all 30,000 bar examinees nationwide took @ExamSoft’s mock exam at the same time. It’s not really a mock exam otherwise. @DiplomaPriv4All @dp4ny

The better number to call is 718-654-6539 - voicemail is full on 518 number. @BarExamTracker

@DCharles I’m twittering!

Diploma privilege will protect the health and lives of bar examinees, their families, and their communities. And, designed well, diploma privilege will also achieve our shared goal of protecting the public. Far better than the bar exam ever did or could.

WY’s (now-discarded) liability waiver for bar exam takers couldn’t make it clearer: Law grads throughout the country are being asked to accept *the risk of death* to take the bar exam. #DP4NY #DiplomaPrivilege4All

This is why I wholeheartedly support @bradhoylman’s NY Senate Bill S8682 and @JoAnneSimonBK52’s NY Assembly Bill A10794, which would grant emergency diploma privilege in NY. Law graduates would be licensed by meeting reqs other than a bar exam until the pandemic subsides.

Today, we requested a hearing from the Court of Appeals on the Sept bar exam. The Court of Appeals has so far refused to acknowledge the seriousness of COVID-19, and expects us to risk life and limb to take an exam. #DiplomaPrivilegeNow

It's not easy being an aspiring lawyer taking the bar exams during a pandemic https://t.co/q9FW42yoLx

🚨BREAKING🚨: Senate bill S8682 introduced by @bradhoylman now has a partner in the NY Assembly! Thank you @JoAnneSimonBK52 and @assemblymanjoe for introducing A10794.

☎️☎️ Please call your representatives and ask them to cosponsor both bills and support #DiplomaPrivilegeNow!

[Diploma Privilege for New York @dp4ny]

ASK: Call these Assembly Members and tell them that remote exams are NOT the answer!

#DiplomaPrivilegeNow is the only equitable solution
