Team — As the first woman Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul is leading our state to protect women’s rights.
New York is the birthplace of the women’s rights movement. At Seneca Falls, women gathered for the very first Women’s Rights Convention — bravely defying their communities to launch a revolution. Their grit, audacity, and bold defiance have carried on through future generations.
Now, that legacy continues as Governor Hochul and New York lead the fight for women’s rights:
New York is a safe harbor for those in need of abortion access.
New York is welcoming to expecting parents and working mothers, offering pre-natal leave and affordable child care.
New York is protecting women and girls, expanding legal protections for survivors of domestic violence.
New York is making investments to level the playing field for women, closing the wage gap.
New York is a place where women can work, go to school, raise a family, and thrive because of Governor Hochul’s bold leadership.
This Women’s History Month — and every month – Governor Hochul will deliver for New York’s women and girls.
Thank you for supporting her work,
Team Hochul
