** Fighting for Women's Rights and Equity in NYC—Our Work This Month and Beyond
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear John,

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve achieved together and highlight the battles we’re still fighting for the women of New York City.

This month, I’ve been on the frontlines, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow women leaders and activists to address some of the most critical issues facing women today. Our fight is as urgent as ever, and I want to share what we’ve been doing—and continue to do every day—to ensure that women, especially women of color, can thrive in our city.

Equal Pay for All Women: At the Equal Pay Day Rally at City Hall, we raised our voices to demand what should have been guaranteed long ago—equal pay for equal work. Latinas in New York still earn only 60 cents for every dollar a white man makes. This injustice is unacceptable, and it’s why I am fighting hard for the Salary Transparency Pay Bills ([link removed]) in the City Council. We need to hold employers accountable and create pathways to close this gap so that no woman is left behind in the fight for pay equity.

Standing Up Against Gender-Based Violence: Women’s safety is also at the forefront of my work. At the rally against gender-based violence, we stood in solidarity with survivors and called for stronger protections. Every woman deserves to live without fear of violence, and I’m committed to electing women and candidates that represent those values, and advancing comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of gender-based violence while providing the support survivors need. This includes working on legislation that enhances resources for survivors and holding perpetrators accountable.

Legislation for a More Equitable NYC: I am proud of the budgetary and legislative efforts my colleagues and I have been pushing forward. This month, I’ve continued my work on critical bills that will have a lasting impact on women’s lives:
* The Latino Curriculum ([link removed]) , which aims to incorporate Latino history and culture into NYC schools, is a necessary step to ensure young women of color see themselves represented and celebrated in the classroom.
* The Menstrual Equity Bill ([link removed]) , which takes unsafe toxic chemicals out of menstrual products, will improve health outcomes for all women and ensure that no woman’s health is put at risk by something as essential as menstrual care.

We've also passed important legislation, like the NYC Abortion Rights Act, the Universal Childcare Package, and the Support Survivors Package—all part of our ongoing effort to improve the quality of life for women and gender non-conforming individuals across the city.

Our Fight Continues: Women's History Month is just one moment in the year to celebrate how far we've come and acknowledge how much further we need to go. For me, the fight for women’s rights and equality is every day. Whether it's fighting for pay equity, combating gender-based violence, or ensuring access to reproductive healthcare and educational equity, I am committed to this work because I know our future depends on it.

I want to thank you, our supporters, for standing with me and the women of NYC in this fight. Your support allows me to continue pushing for change that uplifts all women—especially those who have been marginalized for far too long.

Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible and build a city that is fairer, safer, and more just for every daughter, sister, mother, aunt - woman.

With gratitude,
Amanda Farías
NYC Council Majority Leader, District 18
