Tell Gov. Hochul to Safeguard Abortion Access

Act Now

Trump and his extremist allies across the country have made clear that overturning Roe v. Wade was just the beginning—their ultimate goal is to eliminate access to abortion across the country. One of the ways they can try to do this is by misusing federal law enforcement and surveillance technology against those who provide, seek, receive, and support abortion care and gender-affirming care.

And they may try to use our own electronic health data to do it.

ADD MY NAME: Tell Gov. Hochul to sign a bill that will give New Yorkers control over their electronic health information.

Trump and his allies across the country have made clear that overturning Roe v. Wade was just the beginning—their ultimate goal is to eliminate access to abortion across the country. One of the ways they can try to do this is by misusing federal law enforcement and surveillance technology against those who provide, seek, receive, and support abortion care and gender-affirming care.

I’m writing to tell you to sign the New York Health Information Privacy Act, S.929/A.2141, which will give New Yorkers control over their electronic health information.

Whether it’s accessing abortion, attending routine doctor’s visits, or seeking gender affirming care, in today’s world, no one receives, provides, or helps others access health care without leaving a digital trail. New Yorkers often think this information is protected, but the scary truth is it’s not.

The New York Health Information Privacy Act will change that and ensure that New Yorkers – not bad actors, or government entities – have control over our intimate health information. This information is collected through fitness apps, phone records, search engines, period tracking apps, and the many other tools that are part of our modern life. It’s nearly impossible to avoid producing this data.

Message Body

I urge you to sign this bill into law immediately.

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.
