We’re urging Congress to take immediate action to address the looming budget shortfall for the World Trade Center Health Program. WTCHP has been a lifeline for first responders and survivors impacted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As a nation, we cannot turn our backs on them. (fb)

Alexandra Hinks fell down the rabbit-hole of social media addiction. Fed content glamorizing self-harm and body image issues, she sadly died by suicide at age 16. Alexandra’s parents are channeling their profound loss into advocating for social media safety. I’m sponsoring Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan's #AB56 which would require social media companies to place a warning label about the mental health harms of social media on their platforms—creating another tool in the toolbox to address this crisis. I urge the legislature to ensure this critical bill moves to the floor. (fb)
