Dear Neighbor, 

Unfortunately, bullying and intimidation are nothing new with the Governor. My colleagues and I have experienced it firsthand, whether it's a late night phone call or a tweet by one of his henchmen.

 But, the news in the past few days and weeks concerning Governor Cuomo has been immensely concerning, and outright disturbing.

Harassment has no place in any workplace, let alone the office of the  Governor of New York State. There must be an immediate launch of an independent investigation into these allegations. 

We cannot back down from holding Governor Cuomo and his administration accountable. Whether it’s uplifting the voices of survivors, or speaking out with Assemblymember Ron Kim on the lies that the Governor spread about COVID-19 in nursing homes, I refuse to sit back while elected officials attempt to act above the law. I will  NOT back down. 

Can you help me continue my work of holding our leaders accountable?

Throughout my entire life and career, I have fought to put affected communities at the center of my advocacy and decision making. This time will be no different. 

I will continue to fight for all those who have suffered and survived under a system of abuse, harassment, and intimidation. I will ensure that our leaders are held accountable for their actions, their conduct, and their words. 

The stakes are high, and we must join together as a united front.

Justice must be served.

In Solidarity, 

Jessica Ramos
