Governor Andrew Cuomo today unveiled his "2019 Justice Agenda," urging the legislature to act in the first 100 days of the next legislative session. The Governor's agenda represents a suite of ambitious proposals to ensure the promise of full, true justice for all, including economic justice, social justice, racial justice.
Governor Cuomo announced the agenda in a speech hosted by the Roosevelt Institute. This year, in the face of the nation's biggest social crisis, and with the federal government seeking to undo generations of progress, Governor Cuomo broke with tradition, laying out his legislative agenda in December 2018 instead of waiting until the State of the State address to enable the Legislature to commence action on these top priorities immediately upon convening.

EANY Statement on Governor Cuomo's 2019 Priorities
The following statement was issued today by Peter Iwanowicz, Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York (EANY).
"Governor Cuomo's comments today on fighting climate change by moving to
100% renewable energy and a carbon-free economy, protecting water by
regulating harmful chemicals, and supporting transportation with a
congestion pricing plan evoke the environmental leadership New York has
long been known for. We look forward to working with Assembly Speaker
Heastie, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, and Governor Cuomo to
protect this and future generations by ensuring these commitments become
law."
