🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️Today on #TransDayOfVisibility I’m announcing I will introduce legislation that would make NY a haven for trans kids & families whose rights are under attack nationwide 🧵
TX, AL, AZ, ID & LA have proposed criminal sentences for parents who allow their kids to receive gender-affirming care & for physicians who provide it. TX proposed removing trans kids from their parents.

This legislation would:
🏳️‍⚧️1. Reject out-of-state court judgements removing trans kids from their parents based on the parents allowing their kids to receive gender-affirming healthcare.
🏳️‍⚧️2.Protect physicians who provide gender affirming care in other states from legal action in New York.
🏳️‍⚧️3. Bar compliance in NY with out-of-state subpoenas seeking health or related info about people who come to NY to receive gender-affirming care if the subpoena relates to efforts to criminalize individuals or remove children based on them receiving gender-affirming care.
I’m proud to join my fellow senator @Scott_Wiener in CA in introducing this legislation in our statehouses to show trans kids and their families that they are welcome and protected in our states
🏳️‍⚧️NY won’t stand for the criminalization of LGBTQ people and their allies. 🏳️‍⚧️

It's hard to know where to begin on this hit-job on the pied-a-terre tax, starting with the fact that the author is one of the highest-paid real estate lawyers in NYC and the author of "The Real Estate Investors Survival Guide."

But let's go through some of the bad faith claims.
1) The author states incorrectly that the pied-a-terre tax will apply to "thousands of city co-ops and condos with values of as little as $300,000 owned by people on fixed income and limited means."

Not true.
The pied-a-terre tax would only apply to condos and co-ops that are not the primary residence of the owners. How many people of limited means do you know who own second homes?

But more importantly, anyone whose home is appraised under $5 million market value is exempted.

Nearly 100,000 New Yorkers rely on Broadway for their incomes.

We need Congress to step up and help us through.

Full PUA and rent relief through the pandemic. Nothing short will save us.

THREAD: I’m glad Governor Cuomo is working with NY’s Congressional delegation to create a “COVID-19 Heroes Compensation Fund.”

There are things we can do right here in NY to support our frontline workers and their families. 1/x
It’s scandalous that our healthcare heroes are dipping into their own pockets to fight the virus & stay safe. Today, I’m proposing state legislation allow healthcare workers to deduct up to $5K of taxable income for transportation costs or purchases of PPE related to COVID-19 2/x
Although NY doesn’t collect this data, at least 10 healthcare workers have died here according to news reports.

In Spain, nearly 15% of reported cases are health care workers, and more than 60 doctors have died in Italy.

THREAD: In 2018, NYers showed up and voted for Democrats to take control of the @NYSenate for the first time in a decade.

@AndreaSCousins became the first woman to lead a legislative chamber and the first black woman to lead the Senate.

Here's what we were able to accomplish:
@NYSenate @AndreaSCousins After many years of advocacy, we passed the #ChildVictimsAct, granting survivors of child sexual abuse the opportunity to seek justice against their abusers and the institutions that harbored them. nytimes.com/2019/01/28/nyr…
We passed sweeping new reforms to expand and protect the right to vote: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
