After many years of struggle, we finally were able to get #SammysLaw passed. While this is an important moment in the history of nyc street safety and thanks to all the legislators who stood up to make this happen, it’s also a reminder that this shouldn’t have been so hard. 🙏🏽
Sammy’s Law is in the budget! Grateful to the families of Families For Safe Streets for bravely sharing your grief losing loved ones to traffic violence & helping pass our bill to allow NYC to lower its speed limits.
Shoutout to partners Sen. Stewart-Cousins Governor Kathy Hochul Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal”
Saving lives is what #SammysLaw is all about.
As the Assembly sponsor, I am proud that the NY State budget of 2024 enshrines his legacy and that of countless others killed in car crashes by creating safer streets citywide. #SafeStreetsNow
NEWS: Sammy’s Law will finally pass!
This wouldn't have been possible without the advocacy of Amy Cohen, Families For Safe Streets members, and countless others for their unending commitment.
We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get around without fear of death or serious injury.
