BREAKING: Our legislation extending the Child Victims Act for another year was just sent to @NYGovCuomo.
My bill with @LindaBRosenthal is crucial during #COVID19 because it gives adult survivors of child sexual abuse until August 14, 2021 to file claims against their abusers.

All 👀 @NYGovCuomo as the ⏰ ticks toward the end of the Child Victims Act lookback period. The state legislature passed 1 extension in May.
I call on the Governor to sign extension today! Delay in signing causing high anxiety for victims who have not found a lawyer. #nytough – at New York, USA

Under the Child Victims Act signed by @NYGovCuomo Feb 14th 19 lookback periods ends Aug 14th 20.
Until Gov. Cuomo signs extension passed ,the new extension is not in place . Any executive order extending lookback may face constitutional challenge.
File your claims by Aug 14 2020. – at New York, USA

In 2012, the @BuffaloDiocese quietly removed Fr. Paul Salemi from ministry. He has been on "administrative leave" for the last 7+ years. We found out why. Story tonight at 6 p.m. on @WKBW.

This new rule rolls back protections for survivors under #TitleIX significantly narrowing the definition of harassment and limiting the cases schools are responsible for. We're glad some schools are creating their own high standards to protect survivors. nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/po…
