Reproductive Rights Rally for Alessandra Biaggi, NY-34 Candidate on September 6th at Noon

Join Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion PAC & fellow pro-choice advocates.

WE MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR NY WOMEN.

Thursday, September 6, 12 PM – 1 PM

Entrance to Harris Park, across from main entrance to Lehman College, corner of Bedford Park Boulevard and Paul Avenue (Bronx, NY)

Hosted by Fans of WCLA PAC

The sitting president and anti-choice Republican-controlled Congress now in Washington DC are committed to stripping women of all of the constitutional rights to control our own bodies which were acknowledged by US Supreme Court decisions in the late 1960s and 1970s. 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 and that means electing Alessandra Biaggi as the next State Senator from District 34.

Alessandra is an outspoken champion of women's reproductive rights and 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 toRoe. Alessandra stands with the women of New York in our quest to guarantee all women all the rights that should be guaranteed to us underRoe 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 Biaggi Endorsed for NY State Senate by Up2Us

Alessandra Biaggi is running for New York State Senate in District 34, where she was born and raised. A Democrat running as a true Democrat, Alessandra exemplifies Up2Us values.

Biaggi spent her last decade in advocacy, national leadership, and service to the people of New York, interning for Congressman Joseph Crowley (D-NY), the Kings County D.A.’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and working as Assistant General Counsel for Governor Cuomo’s Office of Storm Recovery.

Alessandra was a 2015 New Leaders Council (NLC) fellow and sits on NLC’s Advisory Board. She’s a member of The New Agenda's Young Women Leadership Council, and has served on the host committee for The Arena. She has presented on topics including women in politics, leadership, political strategy, and community organizing for New York University's Women's Initiative, Columbia University, Ladies Get Paid, Rally + Rise, Impact Hub, Solidarity Sundays, Changemaker Chats, the All In Together Campaign, with Diane Von Furstenberg, and NYU with the Lieutenant Governor of New York, Kathleen C.

Born in Mount Vernon, New York, Biaggi is a graduate of Pelham Memorial High School, New York University, and Fordham Law School, where she was a member of the Fordham Law Review. In 2014, she attended the Women’s Campaign School at Yale University.

As State Senator, Alessandra is committed towards moving New York forward in the same direction as Up2Us and will fight to expand voting rights, fully fund public education, access to childcare, healthcare, and eldercare, fight domestic violence and gun violence, reform campaign finance, reproductive justice, and make sure that every person in the district has a good, well-paying job. She'll also fight for functioning transit, affordable housing, criminal justice reform, workers’ rights, immigrants’ rights, environmental sustainability, and protections against sexual abuse, assault, and harassment so that every human being has a safe working environment, regardless of what they do for a living.

And so, on behalf of our membership, the Board of Directors of Up2Us heartily endorses Alessandra Biaggi for New York State Senate in District 34.
