IT’S HAPPENING! After passing the New York State Senate, the State Assembly is set to pass #AdultSurvivorsAct, and @govkathyhochul says she will sign the bill into law.
The Adult Survivors Act would give survivors assaulted when they were an adult and who are barred by unfair statute of limitations an opportunity to seek civil justice in the courts.
Thank you to every survivor who shared their story, time and time again, in pursuit of fairness and justice. This historic moment belongs to you.
We’re grateful to our incredible sponsors, @bradhoylman and @lindabrosenthal_67, to @cheastie and @nysa_majority, and to our coalition partners and friends @safehorizon for bringing the Adult Survivors Act to the finish line.
Finally, a special thank you to Model Alliance member and survivor-advocate @ambrabgutierrez, who has been with us since the beginning, sharing her story of abuse by Harvey Weinstein in pursuit of justice not only for herself, but for others. Ambra, we’re eternally grateful for your leadership.
