NOW-NYC Endorses Mark Green for Public Advocate
As New York City's first Public Advocate, Green demonstrated his commitment to women by organizing a management-labor-feminist coalition to enact a bill prohibiting the practice of workplace discrimination against domestic violence victims. Green supports a plethora of issues that NOW-NYC advocates for on a daily basis, such as the enforcement of Title IX, the Reproductive Health Act, the Fair Pay Act, the legalization of same-sex marriage and increased funding for the NYS Anti-Human Trafficking Law. NOW-NYC is confident that with Mark Green serving as Public Advocate, women can expect real change and greater confidence in their healthcare system, educational institutions and workplace equity policy.

NOW-NYC Endorses Leslie Crocker Snyder for Manhattan DA
Leslie Crocker Snyder has more than 30 years experience in New York City's criminal justice system. She co-wrote the Rape Shield Law, which makes the sexual histories of rape survivors in-admissible in court, and she founded the first Sex Crimes Bureau in the country. NOW-NYC believes she is the right candidate for the job: As Manhattan DA, she promises to relentlessly go after the pimps and traffickers who exploit women and girls and to create specialized bureaus dedicated to the areas of human trafficking, sex crimes, elder abuse, domestic violence, and child abuse. She's committed to boldly increasing the transparency and accountability of the DA's office by releasing statistics not only on convictions, but on arrests, indictments and plea bargains. NOW-NYC believes Leslie Crocker Snyder is the candidate who will most effectively address the epidemic of violence against women and girls.
