As leaders of advocacy organizations whose work centers advancing equity for women and girls and who serve on the New York State Council on Women and Girls, we collectively condemn the behavior of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the pattern of sexual harassment outlined in the Attorney General’s investigation. See the full joint statement.

The president of NOW-NY says Governor Cuomo's response to Attorney General James's report, which concluded Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, was an insult.

This week, the New York state Senate will consider the nomination of Madeline Singas to the Court of Appeals. Her confirmation deserves enthusiastic support from every senator who wants a more equitable and inclusive justice system. As Nassau County District Attorney, Singas has been a consistent champion for the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community. She embodies New York’s progressive values at their best.
