Early voting and other changes up for debate have long been blocked by Republicans in the state Senate, Activists rallied in Albany today watchful over passage of voting reforms. They say thanks to the hard work of our coalition of grassroots, civil rights organisations, criminal justice reformers, good government & immigrant rights groups, unions, social service providers & everyday citizens to finally #LetNYvote!
Another group which rallied Albany on Monday is supporters of the long-stalled Child Victims Act . It would give victims more time to seek criminal charges or file lawsuits against their abusers. And it would open a one-year window for victims to file lawsuits now barred by the statute of limitations. The act was also blocked for years by Senate Republicans, but with Democrats now in charge it's expected to pass easily.
