Alessandra Biaggi, Reproductive Rights Champion – Primary, 9/13
Democratic Primary
Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018
WCLA PAC ENDORSES ALESSANDRA BIAGGI for NYS Senate
NYS Senate District #34
(Pelham, parts of Mt. Vernon, & parts of the Bronx)
IT IS TIME to elect a REAL Reproductive Rights Advocate to represent the New York State 34th Senate District.
Alessandra Biaggi is THAT Person!
Alessandra is an outspoken champion of women’s reproductive rights. She is a 100% pro-choice advocate.
When elected – unlike her opponent, the incumbent – Alessandra will dedicate all her efforts to the passage of:
- The Reproductive Health Act, which will guarantee access to safe and legal abortion in New York no matter what the US Supreme Court does to Roe. Alessandra stands with the women of New York in our quest to guarantee all women all the rights that should be guaranteed to us under Roe v. Wade but are not now under New York State Law.
- The Comprehensive Contraceptive Coverage Act to give all women in New York insurance coverage to all FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, devices and products.
- The New York State Fair Pay Act which would establish that it is discrimination and unlawful to pay different wages to employees doing the same job on the basis of sex, race, or national origin. The bill would protect workers who want to ensure that they are being paid fairly, including prohibiting their employers from taking action against employees who discuss their wages.
Alessandra will work to:
- Further reform how sexual harassment claims are reported and investigated, including creating a truly independent body to investigate claims of sexual harassment, expanding protections for victims to ensure that they are not pressured into non-disclosure agreements, and adding sex and gender to the list of classes protected in the State Constitution from discrimination.
- Expand access to child care, including providing more subsidized child care and helping districts expand to full-day kindergarten programs.
WE MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR NY WOMEN.
The sitting president and anti-choice Republican-controlled Congress now in Washington DC are committed to stripping women of all of our constitutional rights to control our own bodies – those very rights that were acknowledged by US Supreme Court decisions in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The president’s nominee for the US Supreme Court is an outspoken opponent of abortion rights and is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade.
WE MUST DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PROTECT NY.
That starts with defeating Alessandra’s OPPONENT in the NYS Primary on September 13th.
ABOUT ALESSANDRA’S OPPONENT:
HER OPPONENT created the so-calIed Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) in 2011, and took in 7 other rogue Democrats. This group literally stripped the majority away from the Democrats in the State Senate by throwing their voting power in with the Republicans and sharing power with them — all the while deceiving their own constituents by not telling the voters about their slight-of-hand actions. Her Opponent then anointed himself King of the IDC which has empowered many of the very Republican State Senators who lead the charge to elect Donald Trump.
As the creator and head of the IDC, her Opponent single-handily blocked all progressive legislation including reproductive health bills from coming to the floor of the New York State Senate for a vote.
