DSW Participates in Equality New York’s Lobby Day

Equality New York (EQNY), a grassroots advocacy organization that advances the human rights of all LGBTQI+ New Yorkers and their families, held their annual advocacy day in Albany. The three priority bills that advocacy day centered were:

Gender Identity Respect Dignity and Safety Act (Salazar S2860 & Rozic A709A)
This bill relates to the treatment and placement of incarcerated people based upon gender identity.

Immunity from Prosecution for Sex Workers and Survivors of Trafficking (Sepúlveda S1966 & Kelles A7471)
This bill encourages victims of human trafficking and sex workers who experience or witness crime to report their experience without fear of being prosecuted for prostitution.
