On World AIDS Day, Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal congratulates Donald Powell, Senior Director of Policy and Development at Exponents, Inc., who was honored for his work in HIV prevention, advocacy and research. This World AIDS Day commemorated the lives lost to the AIDS epidemic and celebrated the remarkable progress we have made in reducing new HIV infections.

Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal joined New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer at a press conference to call for stronger rent regulations to protect New York families and our precious affordable housing stock. Stringer conducted an audit which showed that New York City had lost nearly half a million units of low-rent housing, meaning that it is that much more difficult for families and individuals living at the margins to find a safe and affordable place to live. This year – 2019 – must be the year of the tenant, and I will fight to pass my bills to repeal vacancy deregulation and reform the rent control system, along with other bills, to protect tenants and affordable housing across the State. -
Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal joined with advocates from Drug Policy Alliance, VOCAL-NY, COMPA, Friends of Recovery-NY and Harm Reduction Coalition, survivors and formerly incarcerated individuals in advance of the Assembly hearing she co-chaired on the need to provide individuals in state and local correctional facilities with access to medication assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is the gold standard of care for people struggling with opioid use disorder, and combines a regimen of maintenance medication, such as methadone, buprenorphine or vivitrol, with counseling and other supportive services to help manage addiction. -

Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal and State Senator Brian Benjamin join advocates, colleagues in government and 32BJ SEIU members to protest the actions of Global Elite Group, a security contractor in operation at John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International Airports, which had previously been ordered to pay 600 aggrieved security workers $700,000 for wage violations. Global Elite Group refused to accommodate the requests of two pregnant employees who asked to be moved to security posts during their pregnancies to limit their exposure to airplane exhaust. One of the women lost her job and her home as a result, and the other continued to work in the dangerous conditions. The day after this protest, the State announced an investigation into the company’s treatment of pregnant workers. -
