That is strength. And this victory is echoing across the nation: what happened matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Senators unanimously voted to pass the Adult Survivors Act\u00a0last session, but it died in the Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Assemblymembers met the bill with measured caution last year on the heels of sexual harassment allegations against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u00a0that ultimately led to his resignation last August. Some expressed concern the bill could pave the way for increased legal trouble for\u00a0lawmakers and public officials.<\/p>\n<p>The state Public Affairs Committee of the Junior Leagues praised the Assembly for its plan to bring the Adult Survivors Act to the floor for a vote before session ends June 2.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After 3 years and countless hours of phone calls, emails, coalition meetings, legislative appointments, and two\u00a0unanimous votes in the Senate, we will have a pathway to justice for\u00a0adult\u00a0survivors of sexual assault,&#8221; according to a statement from the committee. &#8220;&#8230;The trauma that\u00a0survivors experience is enduring and destructive to them, to their friends, family, and loved ones, our institutions and our very society. The battle to end sexual assault is far from over, but we hope that the\u00a0Adult\u00a0Survivors Act will bring a measure of peace and justice to\u00a0survivors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumlocalnews.com\/nys\/central-ny\/ny-state-of-politics\/2022\/05\/19\/assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-adult-survivors-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Read the original article here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York state Assembly is expected to pass the Adult Survivors Act to allow survivors of sexual assault to have t\u200bheir day in court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":{"id":9672,"alt_text":"New York Assembly secures votes to pass Adult Survivors Act ASA","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1233,"height":689,"file":"2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA.png","sizes":{"medium":{"file":"New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-300x168.png","width":300,"height":168,"mime-type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-300x168.png"},"large":{"file":"New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-1024x572.png","width":1024,"height":572,"mime-type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-1024x572.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-768x429.png","width":768,"height":429,"mime-type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA-768x429.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":9671,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/New-York-Assembly-secures-votes-to-pass-Adult-Survivors-Act-ASA.png"},"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[1419,1421,103,105],"class_list":["post-9671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-safe-horizon-in-the-news","tag-adult-survivors-act","tag-asa","tag-rape","tag-sexual-assault","issue-rape-and-sexual-assault"],"acf":{"page_header_title":"","title_font_size":"42","page_header_excerpt":"","sub-headline_placement":false,"page_header_image":false,"custom_scripts":false,"show_author_bio":false,"original_url":"","related_initiative_title":"Learn about the Adult Survivors Act","related_initiative_link":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/programs\/adult-survivors-act-qa\/","related_initiative_link_text":"Adult Survivors Act  for Survivors of Sexual Assault","featured_posts":[{"ID":9657,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2022-06-03 13:15:57","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-03 17:15:57","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<style>.content-area entry {\n\tmargin-bottom:-60px;\n}\n\n.spu-content label, .spu-content form label, .spu-content label.field-label {\n\tfont-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;!important }\n\n\nform label, form.form{\n\tfont-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;!important } }\n\n.spu-container {\n\theight:100%!important;\n\tmax-height:445px;!important;\n}<\/style><br>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Together we can change the narrative of Domestic Violence being an endemic problem and realize a world free from violence.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Whether you know someone personally you want to support or are passionate about domestic violence advocacy and want to learn how you can help others, there are actions you can take right now to make a positive difference.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>General Domestic Violence Advocacy &amp; Education:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} -->\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Join our mailing list.<\/strong>&nbsp;Stay up to date on what\u2019s happening in the world of domestic violence advocacy.
