WE MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR NY WOMEN.

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.

Up2Us Steps Up!

For the past three years, Up2Us has driven political action to support Democrats across NY and the USA. We have petitioned, trained, canvassed, registered voters, phone-banked and staffed several campaign offices.

But we have done more than that. We have stepped up.

In 2017, three of our members-- Kristen Browde, Gail Markels and Ivy Pool, ran for the Town of New Castle Town Board, resulting in a gain of one seat.

In May of 2018 , our Executive Director, Holly McCall, ran successfully for the Board of Education in the Chappaqua School District.

One of our founding Board Members, Francesca Hagadus is currently running for Town Council in the Town of Mt. Pleasant, NY.

We are enormously proud of these members who have had the courage to put their names on ballots.

We are equally proud when candidates and electeds join.

If there are any other of our over 4000 members who are running or considering a run for office, please shout out below!

It’s Up2Us!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 27, 2018

NEW YORK — Today , a coalition of Indivisible and grassroots groups issued the following statement:

“This week we witnessed irreparable damage done to our communities by an extremist Supreme Court that upheld the discriminatory Muslim Ban, ruled in favor of discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, supported states’ voter suppression tactics and dealt a massive blow to public sector unions and their members’ livelihoods.

“We cannot afford another lifetime appointment of a conservative zealot to the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court should be focused on upholding the law, not tearing it down to benefit corporations and bigots. With the unprecedented corruption, dishonesty, and intolerance displayed by the Trump administration, Democrats must stand united in opposing ANY judge put forth by President Trump until after the 2018 midterm elections.

“Senator Schumer, our fundamental civil rights are at stake. You have our support to do everything in your power to unite Democrats to keep this seat empty —for as long as necessary.”
