Representatives Who Are Standing Up for Women
Joseph Crowley NY-7 Queens & Bronx contact
AFTER MEETING WITH US IN NOVEMBER, REP. CROWLEY HAS SIGNED ON TO CO-SPONSOR FOCA.
A version of FOCA was introduced last year, and Rep. Crowley had signed on as a co-sponsor of that bill as well. He is working for women's reproductive rights: He recently (November 1, 2007) introduced the Prevention through Affordable Access Act - which intends to restore affordable birth control prices for universities and safety-net clinics. Rep. Crowley was also a strong supporter of the recently defeated Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
