Governor Hochul has just days to sign or veto three critical bills that would safeguard New Yorker’s rights to abortion and gender-affirming care and prevent families from being ripped apart. She could act on these pieces of legislation at any minute and it’s far from certain she will sign them.

With the Trump administration actively attacking the rights of women and trans people and many New York families living in fear, it is crucial that these bills become law now. The governor has repeatedly promised to protect New Yorkers' access to abortion and reproductive care while keeping New Yorkers safe. This is her last chance in 2025 to prove yourself true to her word.

Take Action:

Tell Hochul to sign these bills to protect our most personal medical decisions, ensure we can get the care we need, and keep families together.

Message

Gov. Hochul, you have just days to sign or veto three critical bills that would safeguard New Yorker’s rights to abortion and gender-affirming care and prevent families from being ripped apart.

With the Trump administration actively attacking the rights of women and trans people and many New York families living in fear, I’m writing to tell you it is crucial that you make sure these bills become law now. You have repeatedly promised to protect New Yorkers' access to abortion and reproductive care while keeping New Yorkers safe. This is your last chance in 2025 to prove yourself true to your word.

Protect Our Digital Health Data

Getting and providing health care leaves a digital trail. It is collected through fitness apps, phone records, search engines, period tracking apps, and many other tools that are part of our modern life.

Plenty of hostile states would love to get their hands on our data. The New York Health Information Privacy Act (S.929/A.2141) awaiting your signature will ensure New Yorkers – not big tech companies, bad actors, or government entities – have control over our intimate health information.

Promote Hospital Transparency

The Hospital Transparency Act (A.3862/S.3486) on your desk would give patients the ability to see what care hospitals in their area provide – including abortion and gender-affirming care. It would also lay the groundwork for increasing the accessibility of abortion and gender-affirming care statewide.

Keep Families Together

A huge number of New York families endure totally unwarranted, invasive, and traumatizing home searches by child services investigators. Many of these baseless investigations are sparked by knowingly false accusations of neglect or abuse made under the cover of anonymity. The Anti-Harassment in Reporting Act (S550A/A66) pending your signature, will make it harder for bad actors to use false reports to weaponize the family regulation system against parents and children.

I am counting on you to sign all three of these critical bills to protect reproductive care and keep families together.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
