Thrilled to share that the governor has signed our bill to broaden access to mental health courts across New York, opening the door to safer communities and a better path forward for folks who need treatment.

No one should be denied the chance to get mental health care that can change their future and prevent repeat offenses simply because their county doesn’t have a mental health court to provide that support. Our new law will help create a more equitable justice system, and we’re grateful to have the support of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York, DAs from across the state, and NAMI New York State, whose partnership helped bring this to the finish line.

New York, WE DID IT! Governor Kathy Hochul just signed the Social Media Warning Labels Act into law. This law will require warning labels on social media platforms that use addictive design features like addictive feeds, auto-play, and infinite scrolling to keep kids hooked—similar to the warning labels on other addictive products like alcohol and to***co.

This victory would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of parents, teens, and other advocates who sent thousands of emails to Albany, met with dozens of legislators, and showed up in force at the State Capitol to support this bill. We own this win together.

Thank you to Governor Hochul, Seantor Gounardes, and Assemblywoman Rozic for their leadership in getting this done.
