Survivors of Harassment + Assault Demand Accountability from Power

Sexual Harassment Working Group, Lindsey Boylan, Ambra Gutierrez, Marissa Hoechstetter, and others rally for survivor rights agenda

NEW YORK, NY (03/25/2021) (readMedia)-- On Friday, survivors of sexual harassment and assault, including members of the Sexual Harassment Working Group, Lindsey Boylan, Ambra Battilana-Gutierrez, Marissa Hoechstetter, and Alison Turkos, will join with the Model Alliance, and lawmakers to press for accountability. The survivor-advocates, many of whom were abused by powerful men including Harvey Weinstein, Robert Hadden, Andrew Cuomo, and other former New York State legislators and appointed officials will address the current crisis, and push a legislative agenda that centers justice for survivors.

Legislative priorities include: the Adult Survivors Act, and a host of anti-harassment laws, such as closing the "license to harass," a loophole in law that exempts the personal staff of elected officials from the same protections as other employees in New York state.
