famed bellwether of decency Frank Carone. The person who Vito Lopez scurried into the bathroom to call, seconds after Vito got my lawyer’s email about Vito sexually harassing the whole office.
🧵5 yrs ago, we released a survivor-centered set of policy recs to protect workers from, & victims of, harassment & discrimination. 1 of those recs:
ban automatic financial penalties in NDA. Tonight, the bill passed the @NYSA_Majority & is on its way to @GovKathyHochul's desk.
Commissioner & Chief ALJ Rehman joined @NYC_DOI Commissioner Strauber, @CrimJusticeNYC Director Logan, and Law Dep't Senior Counsel Rita Pasarell on this Law and Justice Panel to mentor future city employees interested in careers related to justice, law, mediation, and policy.
🚨 Proud to be endorsed by Congresswoman @NydiaVelazquez 🚨
"From advocating for pedestrian safety, strengthening sexual harassment laws, passing important gun control legislation and fighting for our public education systems, I know Andrew to be a fighter who gets things done."
NEW: more than 75 State Senate staffers have signed cards to form a union. They have retained counsel, and sent this letter to @AndreaSCousins ⬇️

this is a hail mary post that might lead nowhere but i have to try. i lost my engagement ring today and i’m fairly certain it’s somewhere at jacob riis beach. it’s an opal with tiny diamonds around it. if you happen to find it, please let me know.

A casual Friday Gowanus update from me: a developer started driving piles into a Brownfield site in Gowanus last week without warning, making the neighborhood reek of coal tar and potentially damaging EPA equipment.
I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀

@GovKathyHochul’s team also invited me and the others within @harassment_free to the ASA bill signing, as they had for the passing of our top workers’ protection bill earlier this year.
A tremendous change from C**mo, who ignored us for years.
TY Governor Hochul and team!!
Compare to @GovKathyHochul. The day the ASA was signed she scheduled the signing for the next day because she recognized that this was an important piece of legislation that couldn't wait to be sighed into law. Given the SOL issue every day matters.
