'It’s time we put an end to policies like the 30 and 60-day rules and focus on sustainable and humane policies that treat every New Yorker – regardless of their citizenship status – with dignity.' Catalina Cruz, Esq. Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal Christine Quinn

If you or someone you are familiar with is facing violence or emotional manipulation, please do not hesitate to seek assistance. Whether you require safety planning, access to resources, or simply need someone to confide in, help is ALWAYS available.

We agree with Diana Ayala and Farah N. Louis. The rise in domestic violence homicides is heartbreaking, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Survivors and their loved ones need our support, and access to safe housing and supportive services is critical. cityandstateny.com/opinion/2024/0…
