Today, NY passed the #FashionWorkersAct! Thank you, Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 & @karinesreyes87 for being our champions, my colleague Sydney Giordano, team Jess Schafroth Amanda Cavanaugh Alexis Grenell Becky Stern, our @modelallianceny Worker Council & everyone else who made this possible. We did it!

Today, we joined with our Worker Council and bill sponsors Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 and Assembly Member Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N. for a virtual press conference to celebrate the historic passage of the #FashionWorkersAct and urge Governor Kathy Hochul to sign it into law.

Passing the #FashionWorkersAct this session was the product of a 2+ year campaign & over a decade of organizing Model Alliance. It’s a huge victory that wouldn't have been possible w/out Senate Majority Leader Sen. Stewart-Cousins & Assembly Majority Leader @CarlHeastie – thank you!

#ICYMI: After 3 years of advocacy and struggle, Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 and I passed the #FashionWorkersAct in the NYS Legislature! This would be the 1st time that fashion workers and creatives have basic protections in this vital New York industry. TY @CarlHeastie + NY Assembly Majority!

It’s time for Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law. Young people who aspire to work in New York’s modeling industry should not be so vulnerable to sex trafficking.

We need the #FashionWorkersAct to protect young people who remain vulnerable to sex trafficking under the guise of modeling work. Governor Kathy Hochul it’s time to sign the bill!

We commend all the brave men who have come forward about their experiences of sex trafficking under the guise of modeling opportunities for #Abercrombie. Governor Kathy Hochul, you can prevent this abuse by signing the #FashionWorkersAct into law in NY.

Human trafficking is a heinous crime that we must do more to curb. That's why the Fashion Workers Act must be signed into law. The bill would establish overdue labor protections for models to create an environment of accountability in NY's fashion industry. The time is now.

While Trump promises to elevate alleged sexual predators to cabinet positions and throw away basically all national labor standards and enforcement, Governor Kathy Hochul must sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law ASAP. My op-ed in today’s New York Daily News: nydailynews.com/2024/11/25/hoc…

.Governor Kathy Hochul has called up the #FashionWorkersAct, which will protect models – mostly young, immigrant women – from a notoriously predatory industry. It's time to meaningfully regulate model management companies and give models labor rights. Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 @karinesreyes87
